We chose to go for the Vatican Chapel tours. The audio guide was very insightful and the spaces are amazing. Surely an experience that is not to be missed. Would have been nice to have a bit more time to explore the gardens by ourselves, just to have a bit more time to explore the spaces and truly experience them. The guide and all staff were super helpful and very kind. An experience not to be missed!!

The Vatican Chapels are very impressive, artistically and meditatively outstanding - but you can only really appreciate them with more time. We tended to rush through them - counterproductive...

very good. only advice do not ask the people dressed in pink jackets because they will give you the wrong meeting point.

Mystical place, interesting history and amazing gardens with chappels.

Very very good, really beautiful quiet places! Thank you
