We used the skip the line tour, this is useful if only to avoid the queues. But the tour guide was incredibly knowledgable and made the tour much more interesting, only concern is the length of time outside talking about the buildings rather than being in them
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveller
Extremely busy with long queues to get in via the Vatican. The chapel itself was very crowded and was hard to fully appreciate, but still amazing to see
3/5 - Okay

Over-rated IMHO. Expect to be crammed.
