Overall good. Our guide was knowledgeable but occasionally hard to understand. The radios worked well but sometimes had feedback. The group was pretty large but it was so crowded it was sometimes hard to see her. Overall very informative and well done.

La spiegazione della cappella sistina su un pannello (100x70, misure indicative) non è come una spiegazione dal vero, è stato detto che le guide non hanno accesso ma una volta dentro era pieno di altre guide che spiegavano ad altri gruppi. Il resto ottimo. Buon tour

The tour guide was excellent, but the tour was hectic because there were too many people in each area at the same time from different tours. Also, staff should ensure that visitors were quiet in the Sistine chapel. It was disrespectful how visitors disregarded the sanctity of the chapel by talking outloud.
