VELTRA tours & activities, fun things to do

This tour was too long for us. It was much too crowded heading through the Museum to Raphael's rooms and therefore hard to appreciate what we were seeing. We would have preferred a shorter tour straight to Raphael's rooms and the Sistine Chapel instead.
The quality of the sound reproduction could be improved also - at times it was impossible to hear our guide.

For us it was one star, if that, but it could be interesting to others. We expected a tour focused on the Vatican and its place in Catholic culture and history. What we got was a tour dominated by statues recovered from Rome plus a few other bits. The guide had plenty of knowledge, but it was delivered without context or relation to the rest of the tour, they were bite-sized data chunks on each item and we left with no sense of story or development of the Vatican. A book or just the labels would have told us almost as much and left us with more flexibility. If your interest is purely in ancient statues and individual pictures you would have got something out of this, but if your interest was wider you would not. We didn't.
