Ziggy was out local guide, lady in the black coat. She was a hoot. Great since of humor. Quite knowledgeable. She was German, married to an Italian and told us her Mother was French.......so to say she had background would be quite an understatement. Francis the guy to her right with the notebook was our tour Director. He is actually Austrian, but has lived in Italy for years and his wife in English. He speaks several languages as does Ziggy. Between them English, Italian, German, French, Austrian...and perhaps more; but those are the languages we know about. We boarded our coach for a quick ride to a meeting place to collect Ziggy where we can began our very LONG day 3, she accompanied us the whole long day. Many thought she was too knowledgeable and offered to much detail in her commentary.
The description for that day says a local guide will lead you through the priceless art collections of the Vatican Museums, ending in the Sistine Chapel to spend time with Michelangelo's famous ceiling. A special VIP behind the scenes look at the Bramante Staircase. Later to St. Peter's Basilica, followed by a walking tour of Trevi Fountain and Pantheon. Then have time to relax and absorb the atmosphere of Piazza Navona.
