El tour es muy interesante ya que la guía nos compartió mucha información histórica y datos curiosos que agregan valor a la experiencia. La agencia estuvo pendiente de nosotros todo el tiempo y no fue un grupo muy grande, alrededor de 13 personas. El único inconveniente fue el retraso del inicio del tour, pero no necesariamente atribuible a la guía o la agencia, ya que ese fin de semana el Vaticano estuvo abierto solo un día y había demasiada gente.

Der Guide war sehr gut und ohne skip the line Ticket unmögliche Wartezeiten überall. Leider wurde die Tour um 1 Stunde verschoben da hätte ich mir gewünscht das man darüber informiert wird per Email oder so.

Yani öyle abartılacak bir yer değil aslında millet buranın neyini beğeniyor pek anlamıyorum. Verilen paralara yazık maalesef aynı hataya bizde düştük. Dışarıdan kilise ve benzeri yerleri görmek yeterli aslında. Abartılacak birşey yok bence. Vermeyin o kadar para derim
