Great commentary by our guide Guia. We learned so much history and anecdotal information from her. It was very crowded in the museum but she kept us on track and moving through to talk about the most important works. The audio players were very helpful in being able to hear her in the large crowds. Highly recommend, although be aware that even though ‘skip the line’ saves time buying tickets, you still have to wait in line to go thru security for entry. We waited around 45 minutes (and were told it was a low attendance day) so be prepared for lines and waiting. Our tour was at 3:30 and we exited around 6:00 and were then allowed to go on our own into the Basicila. Be aware there is a lot of walking, standing and climbing of stairs on this tour.
