Our guide was informative, but we felt rushed. We had questions, but were compelled to keep up with the pace, so they were not asked. Next time, we will research a tour that will provide an option that will allow for observant meandering.

This tour was absolutely worth it to skip the crowds and long lines. Our guide, Chiara, was sarcastic, funny, and kept things interesting while making sure we all stayed together amongst the crowds. The tour moves quickly while being extremely informative. You’re not allowed to stop in certain rooms due to the number of visitors, but that actually made things run smoothly and kept the day less stressful. The Sistine Chapel was a bit disappointing. I expected a quiet, spiritual experience, but it was packed with people talking and taking photos, even though that’s not allowed. That’s no reflection of the tour, just something to know. St. Peter’s Basilica and being in the square were the highlight for me. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth it!
