Too crowded

Jeff_R, Sep 2023

To many people to appreciate the art. Always in a moving line. Would not do it again. What else can I say.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Sorry for the delay in this reply. Thank you for the feedback provided on the tour of the Vatican. Unfortunately, the Vatican is very crowded most of the time, so we couldn't do anything about that. But we hope that the experience with our guide helped you navigate through the crowd enough to enjoy the visit. Best regards
