Our guide was great! She was enthusiastic and really highlighted some of the most interesting pieces in the museum! While I wish it had been a little less crowded, an overall great tour.

Für die Sicherheitskontrolle musste man normal anstehen. Ohne Anstehen stimmt daher nicht wirklich. Aber es war eine Highlight Tour mit einer netten Führerin. Es waryam Abend deutlich weniger los und man hatte die Möglichkeit etwas länger in def Sixtinischen Kapelle zu verbringen als mitten am Tage.
