Anna is the best guide ever

Anna was the best guide Her Sistine Chapel handouts and talk ahead of time made the experience so much richer She was very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions As for the booking the only snag was that we paid for the Basilica option but our original time was canceled due to the Pope meeting with the staff The rebooked time didnt allow us to enter St Peters Basilica for some reason
