5.00Great museum with amazing artifacts and history. We had a skip the queue tickets and were then left to wander around the museum and the Sistine Chapel, at our own pace. A beautiful place

Great Tour of the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel

5.00The tour lasted about 2 1/2 hours. While the instruction says to be there 15 minutes before, you should be fine as long as you are there before 2pm. We didn't leave the meeting spot until about 2:10pm. Then it's crossing the street to wait in line for security and another 5 minutes for bathroom/water break. Once the tour got going it went smoothly - we went through the rooms quickly. You could easily spend the whole day at the museum if you wanted to, so much to see. The art collection in the museum is absolutely amazing.

2.00Beautiful place but the guide Elisabeth was not impressive. Hard to understand and stressed. Only ”hard facts”. Nothing extra about ex stories about the people who created the history. Also, the Basilica has free enterance, no fee. No skip the line included. So i don’t understand why it is listed.

5.00Phenomenal tour. The guide was excellent and knowledgeable. Provided in-depth knowledge of everything that was seen. Having heard our guide and others, I felt we were given a great deal of detail and fascinating historical insights. More importantly, they had fantastic customer service. We told the tour coordinator, Enrica, that we were having a different tour that afternoon and that I mistakenly booked the two close together. Enrica bent over backwards to help us so we wouldn't miss any of the Vatican, the Sistine Chapel, or the Basilica. Her compassion for the situation made all the difference. I will highly recommend Tours of Rome to those traveling.
Must do when in Rome
