Super experience
Super experience with Viator for this tour on Monday 18th May. We arrived at the office & met a lovely, friendly young lady there who spoke great English (she was originally from Brazil but I didn't get her name). She walked us to the Vatican (past the long line of others waiting to enter), through security and got our tickets for us at the booth before leaving us with our tour group. Super professional service. The tour was excellent, we were in a group of about 20. Very enjoyable and this was the best way we could have managed to visit the Vatican in the short time we had in Rome.
