If Kid/Child/Youth aren't able to show their I'd cards then they have to pay 25€ additional charge to change their tickets to a adult ticket.

Sometime, 5 to 10 minutes you have to wait in security check line. And it's normal. Don't worry about it.

The Vatican can check your identity card. So it's better to carry your ID card with you or soft copy on your phone.

Soft shoes, comfortable drees and carrying drinking water are recommended.

The Vatican dress code: shoulder and knees must be covered.

For special occasion if St. Peter's Basilica is closed then this tour will finish inside the Sistine Chapel. In that case travellers will get chance to visit the Vatican Museums again.
