Excellent tour by very knowledgable and enthusiastic tour guide Christiana. My younger brothers COVID test had just exceeded its 48 hour mark when arriving at the Vatican, Christiana was able to rush him to a nearby pharmacy to get him tested and allow him entry to the museum. This ensures him and my mother didn’t miss much of the tour. Highly recommended and would go again.
