Sorry. I forgot to ask- does anyone know of where I could get my own audio-tour? I know that Rick S. does not have one. I checked Amazon.com and no luck.
Do you mean a tour of the entire Vatican grounds, the Vatican museum, or the Basilica?
If you mean for the Vatican Musuems, the pathway changes often through there so it would be very hard to do a good audio guide of the museums. The audio guide you can rent from the museum has you punch in the number of the exhibit you are looking at and then gives you the info on that item. There are audio guides available for the Basilica and for the Sistine Chapel, instead of Amazon you might want to search iTunes or just a general google search.
I found one through Barnes and Noble. It is $10 to download so I may try that one. It is a book written by an art historian and comes as an MP3 download, also. Thanks.
