2.00A tour guide gives you your ticket and instructions outside, hopefully you bring a notebook because it is a bit confusing. There was no skipping the line, even with a timed ticket expect to wait. The breakfast was very good and was a great way to start the tour which is why this has 3 stars. There were so many areas of the Vatican that were not covered on the app. If you are looking for something more informative book a tour that includes the Vatican audioguide.

1.00Please book a tour with a guide to be able to understand the different points. You don’t really need to meet any tour guide to pass you a printed sheet of your ticket.

4.00Went right in and then we were completely lost, there are not good directions so it took us like 20 min to find the first stop. I still gave four stars, the people who met us spoke English, and the self guided tour was good.
