Incredible Tour of the Vatican Museum

We had an incredible experience at the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel Yamuna was a phenomenal guide and made this experience very rewarding Yamuna had a wealth of knowledge stemming from 7 years of experience as a Vatican Museum tour guide and an advance academic degree in Art History Yamuna made the most important art of the museum come to life for our family Beyond Yamunas kind patient and helpful nature she was careful to include our young daughters into her tour and answered all of their questions Her english was also very good which made it easier for our kids to understand every detail Lastly Yamuna masterfully guided us through the museum while providing key historic background to important art pieces while maintaining a good pace so that we stayed engaged for the entire tour Overall this was the best tour that weve had in three trips to Rome over the last 20 years We are very grateful for EcoArt and especially Yamuna

Eddy was a fantastic guide

Eddy greeted us with a perfect mixture of warmth humor and excitement about the adventure we were about to embark on His stories and commentary were the perfect infotainment for our Vatican tour We really enjoyed all the knowledge that he shared gave us quite the appreciation for what we were seeing and experiencing for the first time 10 out of 10 definitely rockstar territory His spontaneous renditions of his favorite 80s music moments were not to be missed Highly recommended

Great visit with a tour by an expert

This was just the right balance of deference to history and topical interest Given you can not see everything in this amazing collection Fred ecoart travel did a good job of highlighting those parts of the story that benefit from seeing in real life For everything else there is Wikipedia I would say a guided tour is certainly worthwhile
