Riccardo was a wonderful guide through the Vatican

Riccardo was a wonderful guide through the Vatican Id definitely recommend him and EcoArt With so many people in tight spaces Im sure its not easy to lead groups through but he did a great job He was knowledgeable and engaging He kept us going at a pretty fast clip and if Id been on my own I wouldve lingered a little longer in certain spots But you have to go with the flow of foot traffic so I understood He took us into side rooms and showed us special spots that I dont think everyone knows to seek out He also gave us plenty of time before we went into the Sistine Chapel for bathroom breaks and clearly communicated where to meet Even though we were in a crowd once we got inside the Chapel I didnt feel rushed or jostled I know theres probably a lot more to the Vatican Museums that we didnt get to see All the tours seem to hit the same highlights But what we saw was incredible And after 25 hours on your feet it was nice to take a break outside and then have easy access into St Peters Basilica with our tour group Hopefully Ill get back to the Vatican Museums someday to see the rest
