Great tour given the heat and crowds- Elle tour guide focused on art and not so much history of Vatican- which would’ve helped

Our guide was very friendly and informative. Good pace/duration for a family (kids 7 and 10), though can get slowed down a bit if others in the group wander or get side tracked.
