Great tour that is well worth it even during crowds

Alfonso, our tour guide covered the historicperiod with lots of relevant detail - much of it was new to me. Although the crowds were burdensome we remained together as a group and were entertained by the beautiful transition of artistry from flat to 3d paintings.

History, culture, art

Excellent guided tour

Excellent commentary of the major paintings provided by Alfonso - the skip the line / small group (4 of us) was ideal in this incredibly busy Gallery.
