Eyeopening Experience

This tour was very much an eyeopener for my wife and I We had no idea of the extent of the art on this tour Martina did a very nice job of managing the crowds and explaining what we were looking at which was very helpful to those of us that know very little about art I especially appreciated Martina taking the time to show us pictures and give us explanations of what we were about to see in the sistine chapel since conversation is not allowed there This tour is a mustdo when in Rome
