This was a terrible experience. I would not recommend that anyone book a tour to the Vatican. The guided tour was a waste of time as we were rushed through each part of the museums with barely time to snap a photo. The Vatican was so crowded, we shuffled through shoulder to shoulder for the entire 2 hr tour. Members of the group had a hard time to stay with the guide, and often got lost in the crowds, and would loose audio contact if when the distance from the guide was too great. I was more focused on trying to keep my family of 5 together and with the guide, rather than taking the time to view the architecture and art works. The 2 part tour was very expensive at almost $800 cdn for 5. We would have been better off without a guide so that we could go at our own pace rather than being rushed. The safety of everyone in the Vatican was serioulsy comprimised if there were to be any kind of emergency. It was just soooo crowded. Is there no limit on how many peole are permitted inside?

Hello, guide to the Colosseum not very captivating and often repeated (2*). On the other hand, a very interesting Vatican guide with a lot of humor and historical ananectodes (5*).
