Great experience that absolutely was enhanced by our guide, Valentina. She added much to the tour by explaining the art and the history behind it. Highly recommend a tour. If you are going to visit the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's I highly recommend taking a tour so you can get the most out of the visit.
My family and I have purchased three tours from Viator. All of them have been terrific and well worth the investment because we skip the long lines and have the opportunity to see up close the works of the greats while listening to extremely well educated tour guides. This Half-Day Tour was the best tour we have ever experienced. If you visit the Vatican without a tour guide be sure to arrive early at the Vatican because the lines are long, expect to spend 2x the time at the Vatican as a result of the lines at the exhibits and most importantly spend years studying the works of art you'll be seeing because without a good understanding of what your viewing you'll not fully appreciate the beauty and wisdom of the artist.
