We enjoyed the tour, but...

We enjoyed the tour, but probably felt very rushed due to large crowds. Not an easy tour to cover with various timelines involved. Lots of waiting time which could have been used to explain history

Operator response

Vatican Museums are very busy in the summer time. We always try our best for the travellers. Thanks for your review.

Would not recommend

This “tour” is very short, and is definitely not worth the price. Just buy tickets and see it yourself.

Operator response

This tour's duration is 2 to 2 and half hours. But you have an opportunity to stay longer without guide.

Too many people in the group. Guide spent to Much talking and less walking especially in the heat. Could not understand him

Operator response

Our group size is not more than 15 people. Our guide should explain about the Sistine Chapel in advance as it is a holy place and silent zone. Perhaps you didn't like this explanation.
