Pick up point easy to find, as was the guide. Our guide Vivien was excellent, very knowledge, a wee bit of humour thrown in too. The museum was heaving so you need to keep an eye on your guide/group. So much to see and try and take in but if you go early enough you can stay in after your guided tour and revisit bits you might want to spend more time there. Write down what you want to see, we forgot to go back to see the Pope mobile museum and a couple of other places. Skip the queue was a godsend as the queue was huge but it was Easter weekend after all

Our guide, Ettore (I hope I spelled that right) was the best guide that we had so far on our trips around the world, he was funny, relaxed, speaks great English so we understood everything and he was really passionate while explaining us Vatican Museums. I am so glad that we have taken this tour and would do it million times more. Also, organisation of the tour was really good, we managed to find meeting point without problem and we didn’t wait in lines and it was Easter. Groups were not too big and we received audio guides so everyone could hear Ettore. We definitely recommend it :)

we enjoyed a nice, quiet, and 'not so crowded' tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. our guide, Elizabetha was absolutely amaaaaaayzing! she's also an archaeologist, so you can imagine how knowledgeable her tour was. I commend her for talking straight for 2.5 hours! we had a great time, traveling back in time with her. we were completely wowed by the sheer talent of artists 500 years ago; and impressed with the preservation efforts! I recommend doing this tour with a guide first, then doing it on your own later. this is our plan. thanks for a great experience, Elizabetha!
