Awful, for safety reasons this should have been cancelled earlier than when I left. When there was 4 members that left due to fainting (heat) and the church and security was closed due to the next day being St Peter's day, the decision should have been made then! However we waited for over an hour to get close to the security area; the only reason we moved was because other groups were leaving. There was no communication being passed down the line and for the guide to "hope" that we will be able to get in, is frankly, not good enough and they should have had the moral courage just to cancel it. I genuinely hope the rest of the group at least got into the square, but when I walked past again they had not moved in 30 minutes.
I am disapointed that I didnt get to see the Basilica, but my health is more important than an experience.
