    Toured with Fred who was very informative. Tour ended abruptly at the end at the Sistine chapel. Expensive and not worth money in my opinion.

    Very crowded. Arrive early and wait in a non air conditioned waiting area with lots of other people. Went in reverse order and did Sistene Chapel last - great idea and keep it moving up until that point. It took very long to get to chapel and basilica. Key to have a guide to gain access to all areas. Recommend.
