Awesome Vatican Tour

The tour was fantastic Giuseppe our guide was knowledgeable without being overwhelming He highlighted every major detail in a relatively short space of time while adding things we never wouldve learnt otherwise and his light hearted approach and humour made the experience even more enjoyable Got to see everything we wanted to and couldnt fault a thing with the tour thank you
