We signed on with Gray Line – I Love Rome for a guided tour of the Vatican Museums, and it was well worth it. It was a small group, and easy to manage inside the crowded venue. Our guide Alessia was wonderful. She was very engaging and explained the history and art from a modern point of view that kept the attention of the whole family, including children aged 11 and 17. I am grateful to her, and I recommend the experience.

I do not know how much time we saved skipping the line, but the tour guide made the experience great. My family and I learned a lot, and the Sistine Chapel was a sight to behold. I find it to be a better experience when we are a part of a tour group. This tour was great, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone that is looking for a guided experience.
