Followed strictly to our itinerary, we reached the Vatican City - the smallest country in the world. On the streets leading to the Vatican City, there were various agencies asking tourists to sign up for guided tour. To fully embrace the historical culture and knowledge, we gave in and paid for the a guided tour. If you ask me, you should save your money. Half of the time, we I could not catch the accent of the guide and the sound level was not at an optimal level. We should have explored ourselves.The only plus point was you get to cut the humongous long queue and went right in. I guess that made it worth it.
