Booked to be in a group of 20 but only 6 on the tour so very intimate tour The headsets provided were very clear so even if in bigger group there would be no issues hearing the guide Check in people very helpful and phoned to make sure we were close by Rosa our guide was so knowledgeable interesting and good humoured Gave so many tips on where to visit in the museum outside of the planned tour If only we had more time We were departing Rome later so without this service we would not have seen the amazing art collection of the Vatican Museum and the spectacular Sistine Chapel The queues outside were massive so delighted to have skipped them

THE way to the Sistene chapel

very good communication from viator and local partner ecoart travel well designated area to meet to collect tickets with a positive and well caring guide taking the effort to guide the small group booked to the venue skipping normal line to the main entry of VTC museum which is a unbelievable rich and huge museum 7km distance overall is absurt so take your time Only minor point it was a shame we could not book tour with their guideeg only for guidance of a few top features along the road in the Sistene chapel which is a real global historical landmark wonder

Excellent tour

Martina was an excellent guide and we learned a lot in the Vatican museums It must be said that the first entrance at 8 am is the way to go Ive never seen the Vatican museums so empty in March before We were able to wander at our leisure in our small group There were 8 of us in our group so it was the perfect size Martina was very knowledgeable and shared details about the most interesting artifacts We couldve spent more time in the museum The only snag was that we had selected this specific tour because it included a shortcut into St Peters Basilica Two days before our tour we were notified that as of March 1 2025 the Vatican was no longer allowing people to use this shortcut It seems like Eco Art Tours knew about this change but didnt advise us until March 11 when it was way too late to book a timed entrance into the Basilica by ourselves So we had to walk around the walls and wait in line to get into the basilica ourselves It all worked out as the line was moving very quickly but I wouldve appreciated knowing this sooner so we couldve made other arrangements There were far less expensive tours we couldve chosen instead of this one
