Excellent tour and guide

An excellent tour taking in the many highlights of the Vatican Museum far too many stunning pieces of art sculpture and architecture to list though of course the Sistine Chapel and Raphael Rooms get all the attention however you will be walking round every corridor and room in amazement Our guide Giuseppe really knew his stuff and made sure we covered both the highlights and a few less well known pieces as well as providing a history of the City and the museum The only slight negative which affects every tour company and group is the skip the line still comes with a fair amount of queueing due to the number of groups trying to access the museum and also the shortage of toilets when all the groups do arrive into the museum However it didnt detract from the tour itself which Id highly recommend

Vatican museum Sistine Chapel Rafael rooms

Excellent tour guide Ricardo Everything was well organized we had the headset so we could do the same while in the Vatican museum Theres so much to see Plenty of opportunity to take photographs Instructions were very clear throughout the tour I strongly recommend purchase a tour in the morning if you can Any tour departing after 2 PM will not skip the line access to Saint Peters Basilica If you purchase this tour at 315 PM which is what we did you can go that same morning to the Basilica in the morning unguided free access no ticket needed the line without Skip the Line access is about one hour in January probably longer in the summer
