The tour guide did not allow enough time to take photos, and he did not move to various points of interest once he got us to a place of interest. He seemed to be more interested in getting to the end of the tour. He also did not warn us that backpacks were not allowed in the Vatican.... we had to backtrack from the tour to get to the bag check counter, and at the end of the tour it was an extemely long walk back to the starting area of the toiur to retreive our packs. I was accousted by a pickpocket on the the walk back to the bag check counter - not a pleasant way to end a tour.

The guide was excellent, she allowed us to take photos, and was not in a rush to end the tour.
