Une des pires visites faites. La dame était agressive dans sa façon de parler et d’agir. Elle n’attendait personne, très directive et nous avons payé pour un tour que nous n’avons pas fait entièrement. Très difficile de s’arrêter une minute pour faire des photos. Elle ralait souvent.
Je ne conseille pas du tout. Plus jamais.
Après pour la visite du Vatican en elle même je conseille d’y aller en fin de journée ou soir ou très tôt le matin sinon compliqué.
