Hello fellow travelers,
I find myself in a bit of a pickle and would love your insights. Unfortunately, I couldn't secure 5 tickets for an English guided tour on June 28, despite my best efforts. However, there's an alternative option to purchase tickets for the Bramante Staircase and Chapel of Nicholas V tour. This tour includes access to exclusive areas not open to the general public. I would like to make a decision quick as I don't want to miss out on this tour.
As a Catholic family with three daughters aged 19, 16, and 12, faith holds significant importance for us. While this guided tour is a bit pricey, it promises a unique experience, allowing us to explore the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, and other attractions included in the general ticket. Moreover, it grants access to two additional areas, which intrigues me.
Has anyone embarked on this particular tour before? What are your thoughts and experiences? Your feedback would greatly assist us in making an informed decision.
Thank you all for your continued support and guidance.
Warm regards,
Linda
