Excellent guide Worth the money Be smart and book a guide dont go it alone

Excellent guide will vary by group but all appear to be equally knowledgable Our guide took his time answering every question and providing so much insight into each area without it feeling slow or rushed Highly recommend especially given how long the lines would be otherwise There were highlights he pointed out that we wouldnt have seen or known to look for so if you think you can get the information by just reading the provided descriptions in rooms youll wish youd booked a guide like him So unless you have all the time in the world to wait in lines dont care about any historycontext to what youre seeing or you have a degree in Vatican art historyspend the money and book the guide You wont regret it

Great tour

Having an experienced tour guide was really helpful and having skip the line passes was excellent Every historical site has securitymetal detectors and that you cant skip but the Vatican Museum has group only access lines Youre not standing in line with those booking individual tours Our guide was very very knowledgeable and she did an excellent job of explaining everything This tour doesnt include a guided discussion of the Basilica but you do get special access more skipping the line Of all the tours of religious sites we did this vacation this one was the most strict about the dress code
