Definitely the way to go - Extensive tour, can get strenuous. Tour guide was excellent, her knowledge was amazing. I don't think we would've seen as much without her.

Guide was helpful and knowledgeable - Overall, a great experience! VERY crowded day and tour guide only had time to point out the major attractions. We did have ample time to take in wonder of Sistine Chapel. One drawback was quality of headsets. Some breaking up.

Great Tour - Easy way to see these remarkable sites. The guide was informative and the art was amazing. The only issue was there were just too many people at the sites.

The location and guide... - The location and guide were in 2 different places and we seemed to be an add on. They were also 30 min late for a timed entry. The guide, while knowledgeable, was very hard to understand and didn’t slow her speak after 3x requesting.

Good tour, just not what was expected - We were under the impression from the description thatvthis would be a skip the line self guide tour. That we would be provided a map, a brief description then set our own course. Not the case. This tour is led by an english speaking guide. No map provided. Most of the vatican museum was passed through quickly. Had 15 minutes in the Sisten chapel. When we reached the Basillica, we were left to our own course though and were able to spend as much time as we liked.The guide spoke english well and gave good descriptions of each area we passed through with the aide of an ear piece. Skipping the lines was worth it. Rating average overall.

too many tourists and a greed vatican make poor partners - The sistine chapel is something everyone from every faith should see.
But the amount of people they let in, I assume for profit, makes it impossible to spend any more than a few seconds on the many sculpters and only a few minutes in the chapel.
Terrible experience

Beware the stairs - No where in the tour description does it mention that to see the entire tour you had to climb 5 flights of stairs. My wife cannot climb stairs. When I learned this, at the tour desk, I asked before we got tickets if we could get a refund. Of course the answer was NO.
So buyer beware. We would have selected a different tour if this were advised in the Viator description. Very unhappy with Viator on this one. $197 wasted
