Great tour!
Our tour guide Gabriel was an archaeologist. He was knowledgeable, friendly and very funny! He introduced a lot of history about the St. Peter’s basilica and his stories made the long wait at the security line seem short.

St. Peter's Basilica is AMAZING!
The tour guide was pretty knowledgeable; however, members of the group had a very hard time keeping up with him. There was about 30 of us in the group, which I didn't consider "Small Group".
