5.00Even though the Vatican museums, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica were super crowded, our tour guide was able to bypass some of the masses to make it a very pleasant experience. She was also very knowledgeable and told us the history story-book style instead of just a bunch of dates and names.
Excellent guide and tour
