It was a tour that took us to places we had to see. Still had to queue with skip the line. Just so many people - we did 7.45am entry - and still walking at snails pace. Guide handed back headphones before we got to St Peter’s Basilica so we didn’t hear what he was saying about what was outside the basilica and what to expect inside. Either way just an amazing experience.
