4.00Our guide was Knowledgeable and friendly. Smaller group of 12 made the group go smoothly. Lots of walking at an easy pace with lots of info to absorb and lots to see.
Not actually a semi-private tour

2.00We booked a semi-private tour and there were 15 people on it. That is not a semi-private tour. The check-in was chaotic and confusing and the tour was far too long.

3.00Nice tour and guide but a bit hard to understand what she was saying. The Vatican is so impressive though.
Worth seeing!

5.00Seeing the Sistine Chapel in person..I was in awe of the genius of Michelangelo and other the painters. Our tour guide, Ribal Abighamen was wonderful and so informative. He also asked us questions to make it more inclusive and fun. Loved that it was a small group of 10, too.
Definitely visit after hours!

4.00The Vatican was beautiful, our tour guide was good too (Monica I think her name was). She obviously does this daily as she knew what she was talking about (maybe a bit too fast at times). Best decision we made visiting after hours, was nice and empty. Didn't think it was worth the price we paid though, was overpriced for what we got I felt.
