Skipping the very long queues was brilliant . Otherwise it would have been way too long to wait. It is misleading to say it skips the Basilica queues as our guide said we couldn’t, The museum and cistine chapel were amazing. Our guide unfortunately was awful - impossible to understand and plainly disinterested in the whole thing.

Ily gave us a fantastic tour! She was very informative, and delivered the information in a fun and engaging manner. We’d been to the forum and colosseum on a previous vacation without a guide and the difference was enormous, it’s definitely worth spending the extra money for the guided tour.

Our guide, Francesco was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and entertaining! We really enjoyed listening to him. The Vatican and Sistine Chapel were beautiful and the guided tour got us in very quickly which was nice. We were also able to go straight into St. Peter’s Basilica and skip the line for that at the end of the tour, which was great because it had really long lines.
