Our guide was knowledgeable, but a bit too slow in moving the group to each location. Our tour was scheduled at 4 to start with directions to arrive 30 min before, but when we arrived we were told to wait and come back a little before 4. Then with no explanation, the tour didn’t get started until about 4:20. Entrance tickets showed a 4:30 start time. Recommend updating the site to reflect the correct time for expectation management.
Not Worth it !!

Disappointing experience with the Skip the Line: Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel with St. Peter's Basilica Access tour. The tour title promises more than it delivers. The meeting point was confusing, with vague directions provided instead of clear instructions. Our tour guide lacked proficiency in English and had minimal knowledge of the sites we visited.
The tour felt rushed, focusing solely on fast-tracking us through the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel. We spent minimal time in the Sistine Chapel, with just a brief ten-minute stay, before being released into St. Peter's Basilica to explore on our own. Much of the tour involved standing in a courtyard outside the museum, enduring the heat while the guide read from informational panels.
For those seeking a leisurely exploration of the Museum and Chapel, purchasing tickets directly from the Vatican at a fraction of the cost is recommended. Alternative means of accessing St. Peter's Basilica are also available, making this tour an unnecessary expense.
Great tour!

The guide was funny but very informed on the historical information regarding the Vatican. I would do it again, such a great experience.
