Wonderful experience - Great tour. I had injured my knee the previous day, and our tour guide made sure I could keep up. He even found me a seat in the Sistine Chapel. The lines were enormous, but our “skip the line” tickets were well worth it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced.

Guilded tour is the only way to do the Vatican, etc. - It was very worth while having a.guide to explain things. We would never navigated it with one. So much to see, Sandee was our guide and her back ground is art history, awesome at her job and very pleasant personality.

Vatican, Quickly... - Beautiful Vatican but the feeling of being guided by the white rabbit of Alice in Wonderland 😊 The formula has the merit of being there, however I think it takes at least a day to at least fly over what there is to see around St. John’s Square. Pierre.
