Highlighted reviews from other travelers
We went mid-May on a Monday, and it was still very crowded (as expected). Our guide did a good job of moving us through the crowds and pointing out many of the important things about the museums and chapel. I would definitely add the optional basilica because you get to go through a special exit to get into the Basilica, so you don’t have to wait in line.
Our guide Francesco? — he was awesome! He was informative and fun and made sure we got to see everything!! He got us in quickly and made sure we maintained a good conversation about everything: He answered all our questions and was really enjoyable!! He spoke loudly and clear so that he could be heard and understood. He always made sure not to lose anyone! I would highly recommend him again.
