    Our tour guide had a scooter accident, they called and moved our tour to 5:00. It was terrible. The lady (can't remember her name) was rude and ran us through to the Vatican, she didn't speak good English. We didn't get to see the Basilica, it was closed. I'm supposed to receive a partial refund. Not happy!!

    It’s very crowded even on a quiet day. The communication system was marginal quality. The guide was very knowledgeable but had a strong accent which when coupled with poor audio and lots of information made it hard to understand half of what was said.
