    War nur die Audio- Tour, ohne Eintrittskarten. Eintrittskarten müssen separat an der Kasse gekauft werden, macht keinen Sinn Karten haben immer ein Zeitfenster, flexibel funktioniert in der Regel nicht. Sehr lange Schlange an der Kasse Da Petersdom über 4 Std. gedauert hat, ( 90 min in der Schlange gestanden) keine Chance mehr auf Tickets für den gleichen Tag. Sonntag geschlossen Montag Abreise wir haben noch versucht über einen lokalen Touranbieter etwas zu bekommen, keine Chance.

    I didn’t know what to expect when booking this self guided audio tour, but when it came time to use the guide while at the Vatican, it was effective bc there was so much to take in while there. Without access to the Vatican Museum and therefore, the Chapel, it was hard to follow along
