The tour was long, but it felt rushed because there were so many people you have to keep moving. I would recommend going really early or later in the afternoon before or after the largest crowds. Also, the ear piece that our tour guide gave us was a one piece that fits on the outer ear. It did not fit most people in our group and it became a hassle. The tour guide was knowledgeable and interactive, professional, and answered all of our questions.

It is an amazing experience and the guide, Julianna, was fantastic. Walking and stairs were very manageable. Quite the crowd though.

The 3 hour tour was super crowded (not the fault of the tour group) but be aware. We were told the bathroom was the first stop on the tour but the tour guide did not tell us where the bathrooms were until we were past and not able to go back to the bathroom. The tour continued with a few people who were extremely uncomfortable and it was hard to concentrate on what the tour guide was saying. Also, had no idea we couldn’t take pictures in the Sistine Chapel until we were almost at the Chapel.
