5.00Our tour guide was wonderful and very informative. There was so much to see in such a short amount of time. It would require another visit or two to see everything thoroughly. Unfortunately for us, we went during summer, and the museum was extremely hot until we went to the Sistine Chapel, which was beautifully air conditioned. Saint Peter's Cathedral was absolutely stunning and we were able to walk through the sacred doors, which was so special. I would definitely recommend this tour.
