Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter's Basilica Guided Tour

This time - we had problems in the past with Headout meeting places and no one to help - we made it to the spot in time. As the tickets told the exact address and had a location that came up and showed the exact spot. Some tours did not. The spot was well marked. As for the museum tour. The tour guide took us into the Vatican museum and passed us off to the English language tour guide. She was beyond excellent. There was a 20 minute introduction about the generalities of the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel and cleaning. Of we went on the tour. This was part was over and hour through many glalries of paintings and sculptures. Our guide was well versed in everyting Vatican. At the end we sat on the benches in the Sistine Chapel for 10 minutes trying to absorb the beauty of it. Well worth the time and $. We also came back and went on the companion St. Peter's Basicila tour later that morning. The church has the most impressive art collection I have ever seen. The Romans were great builders the church was excellent for impressive displays of art in paniting and stone statues. All well worth it.

The price we paid was absolutely way too high. Unfortunately, on such short notice no other tour was bookable except through Headout, which in our view was taken financial advantage of. On top of that, we paid an extra surcharge for GERMAN, which was available during the online booking!! Then the guided tour was, OF COURSE!! in English! In the FINE PRINT on the confirmation it said: English only, which is too late once you've already paid!! Unfortunately, we understood very little, which was very disappointing even though the tour guide was very nice and friendly.
