Guidekin's take

A late afternoon stroll through the Museums and the Sistine Chapel with easy going guides who have been doing this for decades, timed to miss the morning crush.

Guide, radio and headphones are included at €95 per person. The listing does not spell out the entry ticket, so confirm that before booking, and cover knees and shoulders.

In our comparison: #85 of 138 in Vatican, Sistine Chapel & St Peter's Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
