The guide was right on time, exactly where they said! The organizer responded to our last minute question fairly quickly too! The guide was VERY educated and knowledgeable, nice and kind. Our only issue was that we paid for a full three hour tour and our guide rushed thru the busy exhibits so much so that even with waiting in the long entrance into the Vatican City we ended Almost an hour early… we could have spent longer in the museum I guess because we know there is not much to do in the Sistine Chapel but BE in it.. but yes, we felt rushed. He was very kind and polite tho!
Skipped the line was very essential. The tour guide, Alessandra, was extremely knowledgeable about the Vatican, funny and full of enthusiasm. Her English was extremely good. The Vatican Museums were so large and there were many paintings and sculptures. The guide helped us to explore the incredible collections there. Amazing dome liked we saw in the Pantheon. The interior of St Peter's Basilica was full of Renaissance and Baroque elements. Regrettably, we did not have too much time in Sistine Chapel due to overcrowded environment. Lots of walking. Early meeting time was required because of security check. Unforgettable experience. Worth a visit.
