Loved it

Chanel V, Jan 2020

To be honest, I mostly enjoyed the tour guide, he made it great, the Vatican itself - not that great, there were so many people that you can barely move or actually take in what you see, pushing and shoving from the beginning to the end. But once again, tour guide was great.
