Just okay

The ticket suggested “early access” to St Peter’s but you have to line up with everyone else to pass through security. The guide was very knowledgeable and helped but a lot of time is wasted gathering the group together because someone has to wonder off to get a coffee. Would have been a lot quicker just to join the line when we got there and entered on our own, also easier to get around instead of a group of 20.
