When in Rome you have to go and see the Vatican City. The skip the queue was fairly painless but the actual Vatican is overcrowded and not pleasant. They should limit the amount of people at one time. Apparently there's over 22,000 people that walk the halls on an average day. We were rushed through the Sistine Chapel and didn't get to see everything as it was overcrowded and very unpleasant. I also didn't like all the gift shops, it didn't sit well with me. It should be more about the history not the overpriced trinkets.
Hi Kelley_M, Thank you for your honest review. We completely agree—the Vatican's crowds can be overwhelming, and we're sorry the Sistine Chapel felt rushed for you. The skip-the-line ticket does save you hours of waiting outside, but we know the inside crowds are still a challenge. We also appreciate your feedback about the gift shops; it's a valid point that many visitors share. We hope you were still able to enjoy the incredible art and history despite the chaos. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Best regards, The Discover Rome tours Team
