Get Your Guide

While in Rome we signed up for a tour with a group called "Get Your Guide".  On our tour we visited the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica.  Our scheduled tour was not until the afternoon so we located our meeting place and then walked around the streets of Rome.  While walking around, a man walked up to Susan and said "Don't I know you?"  It was Richard Westergard.  He and his wife, Carrie served with us when we were in the Adriatic North Mission 7 years previously in 2012/2013.  They were on their way to tour the Vatican and then were going on an ocean cruise.  It is interesting to note that later they posted on Instagram that the cruise ship was delayed a day because of the coronavirus (this was at the beginning of the outbreak).

Prior to our tour, we visited several local shops and bought a few souvenirs.  After lunch, we met at the appointed time and place for our tour.  Our "Get Your Guide" tour was well worth the extra money to have a professional guide with us.  Our guide, Georgia, was very informative and taught us many interesting things about the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica.  You can take pictures throughout the tour, but you are not allowed to take photographs in the Sistine Chapel - but we must say it was amazing - you can look at pictures on the internet if you are interested.
