If you have just one chance to see the Vatican book this tour

We booked the Vatican Small Group Stories tour of the Museum and Sistine Chapel and had the immense good fortune of having Oscar as our guide From the moment we met him at the assigned spot he began the tour making us feel comfortable and relaxed His positive and assured manner hit just the right tone with us He was knowledgeable without being pedantic making us feel we had all the resources to understand and appreciate all we saw We took other tours during our stay and we were amazed at how often we said to one another That was something Oscar talked about or Oscar showed us a painting of that event The time flew by so quickly and we really felt like we had learned so much about the building the people the history and the artistic furnishings of the Vatican Book this tour especially if you have only one chance to see the Vatican
