Excellent tour of the Vatican Museums Sistine Chapel and St Peters Basilica

As an avid traveler interested in art and history our recent visit to the Vatican Museums Sistine Chapel and St Peters Basilica was one of my favorite experiences Guided by an exceptional tour guide Oscar my group learned a tremendous amount about the Vatican and its cultural significance Oscar is a veritable fountain of information and he seamlessly wove together the threads of art architecture history politics and religion providing a comprehensive understanding of the Vatican in great detail Oscars passion for the Vatican was infectious and our group greatly appreciated his humor and knowledge Thanks to the expertise and enthusiasm of Oscar I gained a deeper understanding of the prominent individuals and key development in the Vaticans history This guided tour is illuminating and entertaining one that I wholeheartedly recommend to any traveler seeking to learn more about the Vatican
