Thomas was extremely knowledgeable, polite, and a must have guide if you plan to tackle the vatican museums and the chapel. The chapel itself could be an entire tour and an entire day; the rest of the museum could be weeks on its own. Statue after Statue, Map after Map, Fresco after Fresco... over 2000 years of human history and art is reflected in one place... you need a skilled guide, and Thomas was that guy!
