the location, organization, tour itself were great. our guide was kind of awful. he was knowledgeable, which was nice, but he was very very negative. he gave a sour taste mocking the guards, the pope and the vatican. I wish i had never taken my teens on this tour as it left a horrible taste in their mouths for the church, I am really disappointed. the ear piece was awful and had a lot of static making it hard to understand him many times. although, given his pessimistic views and negativity, i wish we hadnt heard him at all. however, the climb to the top, the views, the sistine chapel were all beautiful. this company really needs to find guides that can relay history without so much negative commentary. most people wanting to see the vatican probably dont want to hear how much the guide hates and resents it. so so disappointed.
