Good experience

Was part of a small group of 9no people Met at arranged location close to Vatican museum Oxana our guide met us there at agreed time explained what would be happening and distributed our headsets The entrance was very busy but we managed to get through entrance and security reasonably quickly about 20mins due to being part of group and having skip line tickets Oxana was very knowledgeable and friendly and made the whole experience enjoyable Museums and Sistine chapel were amazing and took roughly 2hrs to navigate Finished at St Peters where we were left to explore on our own Overall a very enjoyable experience and glad we took guided tour as it helped to find our way round and things were pointed out and explained on the way Would recommend
