4.00The tour was very comprehensive and the guide was very knowledgeable. The headset was good but not the easiest to understand everything being said in the crowd + with the guides accent. A little bit of understanding around rest/toilet stops would have been good. Overall a good experience and a good way to see the Vatican and St Peter’s Basilica.
The perfect tour.
