The Vatican museums can be an overwhelming experience. We booked the early morning entry tour and I am so glad we did. We were in Rome as the busy tourist season was beginning in late June. We were one if the 1st groups into the museum and had a wonderful, self-titled geek guide, Elaine, who was very knowledgeable and more passionate about her job than anyone would think possible. I am definitely glad we did this tour. It was well worth the money, despite the heat wave that made it challenging at times.
