Skip the line sort of

We had an average experience with this excursion The meeting point wasnt very close to the museum The skiptheline ticket for the museum was absolutely worth it We passed hundreds of people waiting to buy a ticket The person who brought us to the museum was very helpful in getting a wheelchair for my mother We were not able to keep up with the guide which we expected and we were able to walk around the museum at our own pace The skiptheline ticket for the Vatican did not seem that useful We were in a line that seemed just as long as those who hadnt purchased this excursion Overall not bad

We had an amazing

We had an amazing experience on the Vatican SkiptheLine Tour Our guide was absolutely fantasticextremely knowledgeable engaging and clearly passionate about the history of the Vatican There is so much to see and take in and having someone who could explain the history and significance behind everything made the experience so much more meaningful Our guide kept the tour interesting from beginning to end answered all of our questions and pointed out details we never would have noticed on our own Skipping the long lines was also a huge plus especially with how busy the Vatican can be This was easily one of the highlights of our time in Rome I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Vatican

Make sure to buy the skip the line for Sistine also

This gives you access to skip the line and go straight into the Vatican with no tour guide We met up on steps at location given to us They both explained everything very well Only thing the Sistine Chapel is free but you want to also buy a skip the line for that so your not waiting in line

Mit Giuseppe wird der Vatikan zum Erlebnis

Wir waren als Familie mit zwei gerade erwachsenen Töchtern bei der Führung und hatten mit Giuseppe einen wirklich tollen Guide Unsere Gruppe mit etwa 12 Personen war angenehm klein und Giuseppe hat uns mit viel Wissen Humor und vielen kleinen Anekdoten durch die Vatikanischen Museen und die Sixtinische Kapelle geführt Sein Englisch war für uns Deutsche sehr gut verständlich und die rund 25 Stunden vergingen wie im Flug Obwohl wir durch Geschichte und Latein im Abitur schon einiges wussten haben wir unglaublich viel Neues und Interessantes erfahren Ein ganz herzliches Dankeschön an Giuseppe für diese schöne und informative Führung Man merkt ihm an dass er sein Wissen und seine Begeisterung gerne teilt und genau das macht den Besuch zu etwas Besonderem Für uns hat sich die Entscheidung die Vatikanischen Museen mit Führung zu buchen absolut gelohnt Wir können die Tour und ganz besonders Giuseppe als Guide uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen
