First class guide

Oscar was an exceptional guide five star very knowledgeable easy to listen to with a lovely sense of humour who guided us through the amazing crowds in the fascinating Vatican Museums Sistine Chapel and easily into St Peters The Vatican authorities need to take very serious steps to reduce visitor numbers by at least half as the visitor experience is appalling due to overcrowding The wonderful treasures of the museums have to be glanced at rather than properly viewed Oscar did his very best to find the small group good vantage points But the question remains how can you enjoy a normal museum visit in this hectic one way system The herding of huge numbers of visitors in the Sistine Chapel needs to be urgently addressed All that aside we had an excellent visit Wed thoroughly recommend this small group way of seeing so much in a relatively short few hours Thank you
