This was an excellent tour mainly due to our guide's knowledge of the Vatican history, his pace that even with crowds was well timed to provide is with important did and detailed history and his handling of all our questions.
Our guides endured we Monica's the impact of the crowds and even a short rain storm so we optimized our time at the Vatican. It was a very memorable experience.

The guide was very patient and had a strong understanding of Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel. I found myself wanting to have less discussion and more reading of the signs and viewing of exhibits, but the ladies in our group liked Theresa a lot.
