Friday night Vatican Tour

“We were lucky to have our guide who was a citizen of Vatican City. She was a bit of a rockstar and a lot of people recognised her - and she was incredible. The concert was great and the atmosphere in the Vatican was much less busy than during the day. Really informative and insights not available from other guides or tours. Highly recommended and definitely value for money if you are looking at a cheaper tour elsewhere!”
