Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel

We had a wonderful time on this tour Meet at the bottom of the stairs for check in We met our guide Oscar who gave us a very insightful tour You can tell that Oscar is passionate about the arts and history Not only was he great with his material but when others asked about other various pieces he could immediately elaborate and give history and context for the pieces Its a very fast paced 2 12 hour tour Be prepared to be in a sea of visitors and the need to stay in a faster pace when moving rooms Plenty of moments that you stop and learn along the way
