I chose this tour because the Raphael Rooms are listed in the itinerary, however the day that we went our tour guide skipped over it and the Vatican does not allow you to walk back to the exhibit... I am disappointed by this experience.

2 out of three in my group thought they were going into an antechamber when it was the actual Chapel.
Rest of tour well done though quite fast.

We had a locally licensed tour guide with a lot of experience. This is important because they have been well trained and seemed to have a great relationship with the people who work at the facility. It was also great because they were able to get us in and out of security quickly. This allowed us ample time for pictures and looking around. She gave great insight to what we were seeing and explained it very well. We left feeling we paid a fair price for great service.
Great tour

The tour was hot! But it was extraordinary! Our guide was professional, focusing on the highlights, while leading us quickly through the many traffic jams. It was worth every penny to have a professional guide and tour which skipped the MANY lines. It was a special experience for our whole family.
Tour is Very Long

This is a very long tour through the Vatican museums which is nice, but there is so much there that it can get repetitive. When you finally get to the Sistine chapel at the end be aware that it is pretty small and will literally be wall-to-wall people.
