Worth the extra price to go early as crowds were less than later, although still quite busy. Tour guide Stephano was excellent, very knowledgeable, funny, and helpful. Good meeting point to start, at a small square just outside a good coffee shop.

The opportunity to access the Vatican early was by far worth the booking! It allowed for an enjoyable pace and more personal attention. Our guide was fantastic (I believe Christine). Her passion for history/arts was felt throughout the tour and shared interesting details as we went through each area. Thank you for the time, attention and welcoming day.

Tour was great, tour guide (Marco) was awesome, but the Pristine Sistine tour was not really much less crowded. Still, a wonderful tour of the Vatican!
