We enjoyed our visit to the Vatican Museums, Sistene Chapel, and the Basilica with our guide, Oscar. Oscar had a great sense of humour and was very knowledgeable, pointing out many highlights and details throughout the galleries and grounds. The tour was not rushed, but there is a lot to see as you are walking around and it was very busy when we visited. Whether you are religious or not, a trip to the Vatican on a visit to Rome should be on everyone's bucket list for the history, art, and architecture.

I can’t say enough about the tour operator. We didn’t make it to the meeting point on time due to getting caught in a metro strike that started earlier than planned. They sent us the electronic tickets so that we could still benefit from the skip the line entry and the link to an audio guide so we could do the tour on our own.
