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

Vatican Sistine Chapel Tour

We met our guide outside the Vatican We were in a very small group of 10 2 adults and 2 teenagers There is a queue for groups at a particular time slot but it moved very fast as we had purchased the skip the line tickets Our guide was very knowledgeable and we would totally recommend this tour
