The article is exactly right. The tour is a river if people flowing through the prescribed route until you're vomited into St Peter's.
Fortunately, you can go out a small door on the other side and walk through the entire Vatican at your leisure. There are miles upon miles of museum that most people never get to see because they follow the river.
The Sistine itself is hopeless though because it's always crowded.
Still magnificent and not to be missed.
- Arrath 3y agoA self guided wander at your own pace is something much more up my alley. I've spent the better part of a week going through the Hermitage, same with the Lourve. A guided tour whisking you through the high visibility points in a few hours leaves way too much to be seen, imo.

It takes you back to the beginning of the tour and then you can wander with the river folk and take a side route which I don't remember to get to the rest of the grounds
