We booked for a guided tour of the Vatican Museums with Enjoy Rome Walking Tours before we left the UK . Without Jeanette our tour leader, we would not have survived! There were about 17 of us - no group is larger than 25. On arrival at the Vatican, we were able to go straight to the head of the (very long) queue and start our tour. Although we shared the experience with what seemed like a million other people, Jeanette managed to make it all special. She expertly steered us through the labryinth of galleries and corridors which eventually led to the Sistine Chapel, the climax of the tour. What wonderful things she drew to our attention. I don't think we could have taken in much more art & sculpture, but we did enjoy everything we saw. Jeanette told us much about Raphael and Michelangelo and also about the shifting power struggles in Rome since the early days of the Roman empire. The tour was quite long, over 3 hours but it would have been impossible to do it in less time. This visit is unsuitable for young children and a good degree of stamina is required but it was worth it.
