Awesome Tour

Wayne_B, Oct 2022

This review is very similar to the one I did on the St Peters Basilica Tour because both elicit the same comments. This was an awesome tour. Our tour guide Marco was incredible. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job of telling the story of what we were looking at as we proceeded through the tour. He pointed out many subtleties in the artwork and structures that you would never get without a guide. As it relates to the tour itself, I can only say it was breathtaking. You get sensory overload at what your eyes are taking in. The grandeur and enormity of the Museums and the Sistine Chapel is something that can't be described. You can only appreciate it by being inside. All in all the price of the excursion was well worth the money.
