    My family and I did the Vatican guided tour towards the end of February 2023. We enjoyed the tour as it was very informative, however be aware, the space is quite crowded and the tour is advertised as 3 hours, but it is over 4 hours and that doesn't include the St. Basilica portion of the tour. So be well fed, bring your water, and wear comfortable shoes!

    Our visit to the Vatican museums and the Sixtine Chapel was amazing. We enjoyed walking by invaluable and beautiful pieces of art and learning about the history of Rome and its word famous artists like Michaelangelo and Rafael. Our 2 teenage daughters loved the tour too! I've been to this tour twice and will definitely visit again next time I'm in Rome.

    The guide is quite nice. The only pity is that the tour does not include the guided tour of Basilica di San Pietro as it is written in the purchase description. So please do not pay extra and book this trip if you want to have the guided tour in the Basilica.
