A MustDo for the VaticanHighly Recommend the SkiptheLine Access

We had an incredible time exploring the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel If you are on the fence about whether to book a guided tour or just wing it let this be your sign skipping the line is the only way to go Seeing the massive queues outside made us so relieved to have priority access it saved us hours of standing in the sun and let us get right to the art The exhibits themselves are absolutely breathtaking but what really made the experience was our tour guide Their energy was infectious from start to finish and their depth of knowledge was truly impressive They didnt just rattle off dates they told stories that brought the history and the masterpieces to life in a way we never would have discovered on our own One Important Note The only downside to our experience was the logistics regarding St Peters Basilica We happened to visit on a day when the Basilica was closed to the public Unfortunately we had already paid for the optional portion of the tour that included the Basilica and we werent offered a refund for that segment despite it being unavailable The Verdict Despite the hiccup with the Basilica refund the tour of the Museums and the Sistine Chapel was toptier The guides expertise and the convenience of bypassing the lines made it a highlight of our trip Just be sure to doublecheck the Basilicas schedule before you head out

Take the tour

This was my third tour of Vatican Sistine Chapel I learned more on this tour and the two previous combined Fred is an archaeologist and he spoke for the entire three hours nonstop providing an unbelievable amount of historical religious societal and cultural information I would never see anything this important without a guide You will be missing a lot of really important information plus standing in line for hours Five stars Came with friends family daughter and husband All were happy
