Tour was good, we got to see everything we were supposed to. Saint Peter‘s Basilica was not included, but we went in later by ourselves.

Our tour guide was fantastic. It was my wife’s 30th Birthday and we booked last minute. It met and exceeded our expectations. We even managed to experience the Holy Doors
