        Wish I had more time. So much to see.

        The biggest surprise was St. Peter’s. We were awe struck at its size and beauty. Enjoyed they other portions very much. I wish I would have had family make lust of items to make sure we see. With the shirt time you can not skim some areas. Lia was very good except one area. We skipped the gift shop inside and quickly walked us outside to a shop that seemed expensive and never had the chance at the inside one. Still a little upset about that.
        Great experience at the Vatican!

        Sehr lohnenswerte Führung

        Magdalena war eine sehr versierte Guide. Sie kannte die besten Ecken und hat uns inmitten des unvermeidlichen Trubels souverän durch die Museen, die Sixtinische Kapelle und den Petersdom geführt. Es hat sich sehr gelohnt, diese Führung privat zu machen.
