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

De Sint Pieter

De Sint Pieter Ik vond de gids erg langdradig Iets meer interactie en wat sneller zou leuk zijn

Wonderful experience

Excellent tour packed with lots of history and sights Were a family of four and love guided tours Our tour started at 12 noon across from the entrance to the Vatican Museum and was easy to find Our tour guide Fabio set expectations and was very good at communicating with us The tour started once we arrived inside the Museum on the upstairs courtyard Fabio spent about 20 minutes talking about La Capella Sistina and the history of the Vatican We proceeded through a couple of other courtyards before entering the main part of the Museum There is lots to see with many artifacts statues tapestries paintings and history We ended up in the Sistine Chapel and had about 15 minutes to take it all in No camerasphotos allowed Our tour lasted about 3 hours in total Its difficult in any tour like this to see everything I would not recommend a guided tour if you just want to go at your own pace You could literally spend most of the day looking at all of the exhibits However we enjoy the history of hearing local tour guides embrace their history Thank you EcoArt
