[quote=Anonymous]We were just there in late May and we booked tours for both. I think we probably would have been fine just using an audio guide for the Colliseum. Our tour guide was good but I think it would have been fine without.

The vatican on the other and is a must for a guide. We had an incredible one that we booked through the Vatican official site. He gave us such detailed information that we actually knew what we were looking at.  That being said, it is incredibly crowded. In the museum halls, you were packed in like sardines and the crowd just moves you. They really need to go to a system like the Borghese Gallery where they only let a set number of people in at a time. I swear it felt like 20,000 people were in the hallway at once. Sistine Chapel was the same. Between the thousands of people and the guard yelling "Silenzio" every time someone talked, it felt a little rushed so if you can spend the money to get in earlier like PP mentioned, that would be well worth it.[/quote]
