Its what you do in the Vatican

We enjoyed the tour The Vatican museums are wildly touristy so as long as you go in expecting that its fine We intentionally picked this tour because we thought a 20person group would be more manageable than a 200person one and indeed we didnt really have problems waiting on people We had a personable funny guide and the sights themselves are interesting We also loved that we could skip the line for St Peters at the end though most of the basilica is closed by the time youre done with the tour if you do a later tour Wed recommend

Great choice for Vatican tour

We enjoyed the tour There are so many options it can feel overwhelming but wed recommend this one We liked the smaller groups size 20 people we didnt really have to spend time waiting for people or finding one another We appreciated the skip the line part because we saw the line and wouldnt want to wait in it The museums themselves are wildly touristy and crowded but you should expect it and its easier than you might think to ignore the tourist hordes and pay attention to that your guide is saying On that note our guide Fabio was great He was personable and funny and kept us moving through the museums at a solid pace We liked having access to St Peters at the end too though much of the basilica will be closed by the time youre done if you do a later tour In any case we would recommend

Vatican tour with Fabrizio

Fabrizio was outstanding Very informative and ensured the group stayed together The Sistine chapel was packed but he ensured we were able to view the art even when the guards tried to hustle us through
