    The only slight issue was finding where to pick up our tickets as the address is tiny and not clear. Once we asked someone they told us everything else was brilliant

    Emme ikinä päässeet käsitykseen bussi kiertoajelusta joten jätimme sen väliin. Muuten kaikki toimi hyvin.

    Nemt og belejligt men tiden blev ændret - vi havde booket vores tid med god grund så ændringen var lidt irriterende. Gå helt hen til indgangen af vatikanmuseet - kontoret er lige på den anden side. De prøver at sælge dig indgang til Skt Peterskirken men du kan booke online til halv pris.
