    Not worth the money
    Josie_O, May 2022
    Tour was okay. It is very pricy and don’t think it is worth the extra money for the guided tour. Tickets for the general public are €17pp and headsets €5pp if doing the tour unguided. St Peters basicilla was not included as part of the tour. The Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel are interesting to go and see once. However would recommend doing this trip unguided & save your €€€.
    Response from Host, May 2022
    Thanks for your comment. 17€ Museums ticket cost, if you stand in the general line. Audio guide cost is 7€. Skip the line ticket cost and availability is different. You can do a self guided tour, what is obviously cheaper than live guided tour. You can go through the Internet and check the live guided tours prices. There are different prices. Actually everything depends on mentality. Some people like deep analysis on art, history and culture, some people are not. So it is better to think before purchasing the tour.
