We enjoyed the venue but did not benefit much from the tour. The guide was hard to hear as the head sets were poor compared to those used on the Coloseum tour, at St Pauls Basilica especially we could hear nothing at all. The guide was very quietly spoken with broken English/strong accent but this would have been OK with adequate head sets.

Raúl Hernández was a great Tour Guide! He was very knowledgeable, warm, friendly and accommodating. Lots of interesting facts, both historical and culturally wise. I greatly recommend buying the Skip the line tours. You save time and enjoy the experience better.

We started our tour on time with the friendly guide, Antonio. He gave clear instructions and soon had us walking through the grounds of the Vatican, to the Sistine Chapel and then the Basilica. Antonio was friendly and talked us through useful and interesting information about the Vatican, Popes and the paintings of the Sistine Chapel. Thoroughly recommended.
