Great day with a great guide!

We had a great time with Riccardo on our Vatican/Sistine Chapel tour. We had our kids, ages 7 & 9, and they loved it too. Riccardo was awesome and very knowledgeable. It was a busy hot day but Riccardo kept us going at a great pace.

Awesome Tour

Excellent guide who gave a very comprehensive tour. Thank you. Tour took about 2.5 hours which some kids found quite long but other than that was excellent. Great to skip queues as well!

Eco Art were excellent great guide

We booked a few tours for our stay & we found that locating your tour company (there were many) can be tricky. This one was on some steps opposite the Vatican entrance so not too hard to find. The guide was great, very knowledgeable. It was very busy as it probably is most days in holiday season but she made sure we kept together & the audio means you can hear her much better regardless of the noise around you. It was just the right length of tour taking in the museums, which were basically the halls & corridors leading to the sisten chapel, we had 20 minutes in the chapel which was full of people & that was enough. She then led us out to the square where the tour ended & we were free to enjoy st.pauls basilica on our own. All in all very good.
