Memorable Tour Worth it

We were a family of 4 Skip the line is super helpful or else you will be in general line that wraps around the building and can take hours Our guide Sarah was an archeology major who gave us details on all important aspects Highly recommend or else you will miss to understand the history behind what you are seeing I would highly recommend this tour operator

Great tour well worth it

Alberto was our guide for the Vatican and Sistine Chapel tour He was very knowledgeable really interesting and made the whole experience enjoyable The Vatican is a busy place many group tours queuing security to go through etc but Alberto explained each step to our group and made sure we all kept together You walk a long way wear comfy shoes and bring a water bottle Also cover shoulders and knees I recommend the tour but the Vatican is busy many people and not for people who cant walk far Worth getting the St Peters entry too On the whole amazing things to see and many beautiful sculptures paintings frescoes etc Sistine Chapel beautiful I last went round the Vatican etc about 25 years ago and although you see many amazing things and the beautiful gardens it was quite overwhelming with all the tourists Very different from the past but something I think everyone should do at least once Remember to take some cash to tip your guide as they do a great job and definitely deserve something for contending with the crowds everyday
