It was a small group of 13 people. The tour provider was really helpful and offered us all water which came in really hand during the tour. They checked in on all of us before we set off which was nice. They also kept us up to date just before we set off. The tour guide was really knowledgeable and friendly. We had a really lovely time. Thanks. I highly recommend this tour provider.Booked early in the morning from my hotel Rome. Redemption point was close to the Vatican and easy to find, entered the Vatican in 10 minutes and visited the Museums on my own using a map and audio guide. Even though there were many group tours I don't think it really was necessary for me.
