We did the 11:30 am... - We did the 11:30 am Sunday Vatican museum and Sistine Chapel tour. Alessandra was an amazing tour guide. She provided facts about Ancient Rome, the Vatican and about the amazing artworks. I wished the tour could’ve had the option to add the Basilica tour without having to return to the office but this was a wonderful experience.

VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE - Excellent service. With extensive knowledge of the tour. I might consider slowing down when BBC is with senior citizens, my parents struggled to keep up. Everything else was excellent

Book skip the queue! - This is not skip the line, therefore the 2-3 hour tour, could be much shorter, our tour was literally 1.5 hours rushed. The tour guide had to push in front of people in the queue to make sure we actually got in. Make sure you book a skip the line, do not do without, the queue is at least two hours long! However for the time we were in there the guide was very informative. The parts of the museum we were rushed through, wasn't too exciting, but the sistene chapel, well worth it!

tour in another language - I made the reservation in Spanish, I got the entry in English and I could not change it, we did the tour in English, very short the guide, which if we were passed from the long queue when going in a group, you can do it with the headphones you can get when entering but we also had no choice, very expensive price the two 130 euros

Not value for the money spent - We had to queue the venue as a group for 90 minutes before we entered the venue. The radios worked intermittently. The guided tour was only 1 hour long and was not value for money

SCAM TRYPADVISOR GUIDE - The free day (last Sunday of the month) makes us pay for a ticket that is free having to wait in the endless queue.ñ, in addition to paying an expensive price for something that is not real, we stayed in the museum grounds because we were much earlier and did not contact me to give the Guide Service, plus the company tells me that they do not want to refund me for a Service that I have not received. A full-fledged scam and we keep fighting for this injustice, I've never been with a company and on top of Trypadvisor, it's amazing!
