Ancient Art Masterpieces

Our guide was Lorelei and she is an art historian We began with a group of about 12 people in the Vatican gardens Shortly after we entered the gardens 3 people requested to go sit in the cafe Our guide was very understanding and we spent some time here viewing the statuary When the group was ready to proceed the small group decided not to continue There were 2 members of our group who had difficulty with stairs and Lorelei was very understanding and accommodating by showing g them to elevators as well as providing them options to sit and rest during parts of the tour We viewed the artwork j The Vatican museum Lorelei was very knowledgeable about all the art and answers all of our questions Several other people in our group had booked back to back tours and had to exit the tour early Lorelei was gracious and explained to them how to leave the museum She did a great job of explaining the art work of the Sistine Chapel prior to entering as photography and video are not allowed in the chapel The tour finished in St Peters Square where she showed us how to enter the basilica and gift shops I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about the Vatican and its vast collection of artwork
