    The Vatican is a an invaluable tressure. There is so much more to see that just the budling. The lines, wait times and crowds are unthinkable. If you are able to afford a private tour it will be worth it every penny. You'll cut the lines, use private walkways and will be guided by an expert. This tour was out top Rome experience. Professor Pascualino our tour guide was outstanding. Highly recommended.

  • Wonderful!
