A must do

Skip the Line is the way to go Its very crowded at the site so the access saves time waiting Well worth the cost Maria Laura was an excellent tour guide She was extremely knowledgeable and shared the stories and history in an interesting way Her English was very good which was a big plus for us

Skip the Line It IS worth it

Visiting any Roman monument these days is guaranteed to be extremely busy Booking with a reputable tour company makes like a lot easier My guide was a woman called Viola She was open friendly wellinformed and a charming leader for our small group tour through the Colosseum the Forum and the Palatine Hill I recommend her especially and this company without reservation

Amazing Vatican Tour with Martina

Awesome tour We were guided by one of the best tour guides I have had Martina She was engaging assertive with directions and made sure the group followed along at a nice pace We went on an early Wednesday tour which is the same day the Pope gives his public speech This means St Peters basilica is closed until the afternoon That is okay because this tour packs in everything you need to see in the museums and of course the great Sistine Chapel Martina gave the group some fun and informative information about many of the great pieces in the museums and even added in a little fun I will not be able to see Sylvester Stallone in a movie again without thinking of the Vatican We then got a good overview of the Chapel before being let on our own to go inside and stay as long as we wanted I really liked the way the tour was structured in this way to allow us to wander on our own I would definitely recommend EcoArt tours I booked through Viator but would go straight through their website as well in the future Grazie
