    Our guide did an outstanding job throughout the tour. He skillfully guided us through the crowds and provided detailed explanations of everything we saw. Each area was incredibly beautiful. We especially admired the hallways the Pope used, adorned with fascinating artwork on the walls. St. Peter’s Basilica was truly magnificent, and seeing Bernini’s canopy in person was an unforgettable experience. Although the tour was quite long, our guide kept everyone engaged and interested the entire time.
