Very crowded with Jubilee...

Janet_K, May 2025

Very crowded with Jubilee year, new pope, and many typical entrances were closed. So not to the fault of tour guide that we spent more time waiting. Knowledgeable, English was understandable. Would have preferred more time to explore on our own and enter some of the side chapels. Insisted on taking pictures from the guides phone. Never offered to share with us the photos. Permission to display photos on website after tour was completed, which we declined.
