Timing? - The tour was suppose to be 2h but it took 3,5h. If you plan your day and have other bookings you might not make it. Dont bring small kids, they wil not have the energy. It dose not say you have to have id or passport, thay will not even take kids without it with parents.

Scammed - The tour guide was very nice his name was Jason, however the business told us that we would visit the basilica di san Pietro directly after we finished our tour without cues and it was not true so they literally scammed us.
