The tour of the gardens...

Virginia_M, Oct 2025
The tour of the gardens is very short and if you have difficulties with the audio device it is not informative. We were at the Vatican on a day that was very crowed so hard to evaluate on what would be a normal day. Off course the museum is stunning but with so many people it was not enjoyable.

Never be fooled again

Jay_C, Jul 2022
The local agency was terrible. They speak poor English. Was way behind schedule. They only cared about selling more tickets to get more people into the group. It was delayed by 40 min. No building at all except the Audi device on the garden bus. Instructions were unclear and you still have to stay in the line a lot
