Tour guide was very informative and engaged my 8 and 9yo throughout the tour. PDF tickets/direction only in Italian and somewhat confusing.

many people, huge lines, many people inside the Vatican could not even hear the guide, because there were too many people inside the Vatican in the Sistine chapel I think I was there 30 seconds always sending dispatch,

Great tour with Anna. Loved the beginning where she used the screen to well explain the Sistine chapel details as she didn't go in with us at the end. She spoke very fast which I loved as we got so much information. Since there was no St Peters included, I was easily able to go back to the beginning of the museum by crossing the wall right side of the shop, and take another 2-3h to revisit everything. Definitely well worth it.
