We did the Forum and Coloseum tour

We did the Forum and Coloseum tour I was happy with it overall The tour guide was very knowledgeable I wouldnt have known what any of the stuff in the Forum was without the tour Her presentation tone leaned a bit secular at times specificially when discussing anything involving Christianity but overall remained largely factual and neutral I would have liked maybe a bit more free time to explore though

Skip the line Vatican Museum and its many parts

Catalina was delightful An escortshepherd marvelous herder of cats Answering questions with warmth and information that was charming and very informative The expression of art and the nuances in different characters of all sorts of arts included in the Vatican museum Are really loved its seems by visitors and guides that give all life through interpretation Giving useful reminders of how to look at the art and reminders of how its it was meant to be viewed In spite of or because of the circumstances Catalina is very practiced in moving and flowing through all masses with polite charm and humor The skip the line offseason Im not sure if Rome or Vatican City have one of those any longer was great the small group was perfect for me I could hear and ask questions with ease to have somebody that enjoyed and expressed with such joyful enthusiasm for the art in the Vatican museum it was a pleasure to participate with I would absolutely tour again at a different time to enjoy more than the thumbnail sketch that went by too quickly with Catalina a wonderful representative of Ecoart

A thoughtful and personal experience of the Vatican mueseum and Sistine chapel

Giuseppe was a knowledgeable fun and enthusiastic tour guide during our tour of the Vatican City museums and Sistine Chapel He made the museum come to life with his stories and focused on the meaningful art pieces in the extensive Vatican museum gallery Even among the crowds you felt like you were on a private tour walking through the museum Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to enjoy the Vatican museum Sistine chapel and skip the line to get into Saint Peters basilica Definitely worth it

Great tour guide in a crowded place

Booking this tour is the only way to see the Vatican museums and Sistine Chapel Maria was an excellent and knowledgable guide She tailored the experience for our group We should have booked an earlier tour our tour only started at 14h15 as the earlier ones were fully booked It didnt give us much time at St Peters You only get skip the line passes once youve been on the tour The crowds were hectic I wouldnt like to be there in peak season
