Fantastic guide, but what was disappointing was the enormous crowds, even at this time ... Furthermore, terribly warm in the museums and nowhere seats, except in the Sistine Chapel.

Excellent! Easy to find at night with a knowledgeable guide, Emilia.

Emilia was great. She knew her stuff, but was not “preachy”, fewer people than during the day and the atmosphere was different than during the daytime. I guess it is because of where you are.
