Worth It for the Experience but Be Ready for a Fast Pace

I highly recommend buying your ticket online in advance otherwise you may end up waiting in line for quite a while If you are considering a guided tour we had Martina who is very knowledgeable and genuinely funny I really appreciated that she didnt just focus on sharing information but also brought a sense of lightness to the whole experience She is very attentive to everyone and makes sure no one falls behind The Vatican Museums are huge There is so much to see that you could easily spend hours there If you prefer to explore at your own pace without feeling pressured to keep up with a group then a guided tour might not be the best option However I really enjoyed hearing the history and seeing everything come to life in front of me That said it is impossible to take everything in especially since guided tours run on a schedule and are timesensitive

Excellent access for fast tour

Access was excellent But we could not hear the guide with the crowd around us This visit was also very quick We checked the 3 or 4 venues off our bucket list but there was not a lot of time spent in The Vatican or Sistine chapel Not the tours fault just awareness when booking Everything moves fast due to crowds and heat

Incredible

The Vatican and everything around it truly is beautiful Our guide Oxana was fantastic and truly knew so much and was able to illuminate a lot of things The only negative was that I felt like we ran through the museumpart of that was the time of day we started part of that was the huge crowdsbut we barely even got the highlights in my opinion If you want an incredible 10000 foot view then this is it and Oxana is your girl But if you want to spend more time looking at all the incredible art and artifacts and truly take your time soaking it all in find a longer tour or figure out how to do it on your own
