Skipping the line was awesome as it was 100 degrees outside and extremely packed with visitors. Our guide Paolo, was extremely knowledgeable, humorous, and really tried to fit in all that he could into the time that we had. We did feel a little rushed, because any time we wanted to stop and take pictures, we had to try to find and catch up with the group. (One of our ear pieces also died about halfway through the tour so I missed a lot of what Paolo was saying.) Overall, we were happy with the tour, especially how quickly we got in, but we would have liked to not have felt so rushed :)

Best way to experience the Vatican during a very busy season. The entrance into the museum itself can be a little hectic but trust your guide. They know what they are doing.
