    Nothing you can do but way too many people!! Christ in Matthew 21:12 upset the tables and drove people out for abusing his house. The church (little c) is doing the same thing.

  • Well worth the money!!

    The Vatican Tour was AMAZING!! An unforgettable experience. We had an opportunity to see everything that was promised. Our tour guide, Valerio was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and patient. We had an elderly lady on our tour and a small child in a stroller and Valerio took extra time to accommodate their needs. He is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information with us about Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museum, St Peter's Basilica and everything! The best tour guide EVER!! Viator has never let me down. I always enjoy their tours and they always deliver as promised.
