Truly Skipped the Lines but walked a lot - Roberto was our guide. He was excellent: knowledgeable and friendly. We were in a group of 14 English speakers from USA, Canada, Russia and other countries. The pace was brisk. We started with an overview of St. Peter's Square then walked to the back of the Vatican property to the entrance to the Vatican Museums. There were long lines and people everywhere but we moved quickly as a group past most people. Roberto guided us through the museums and Sistine Chapel and left us just inside St. Peter's Church.

The the kind Mr. Roccon - Yesterday we visited the Vatican Museum! Thanks to the kind Mr. Rocco! His attitude was very professional, polite and we are very grateful that he found us, guided us and helped us! We didn't wait in line at all, we entered in exactly 5 minutes and toured everything inside! Unique beauty! But thanks to the polite Mr. Rocco we didn't have to wait or get lost!
