Wonderful experience

Excellent tour packed with lots of history and sights Were a family of four and love guided tours Our tour started at 12 noon across from the entrance to the Vatican Museum and was easy to find Our tour guide Fabio set expectations and was very good at communicating with us The tour started once we arrived inside the Museum on the upstairs courtyard Fabio spent about 20 minutes talking about La Capella Sistina and the history of the Vatican We proceeded through a couple of other courtyards before entering the main part of the Museum There is lots to see with many artifacts statues tapestries paintings and history We ended up in the Sistine Chapel and had about 15 minutes to take it all in No camerasphotos allowed Our tour lasted about 3 hours in total Its difficult in any tour like this to see everything I would not recommend a guided tour if you just want to go at your own pace You could literally spend most of the day looking at all of the exhibits However we enjoy the history of hearing local tour guides embrace their history Thank you EcoArt

Efficient way to explore in a short period of time

A great way to cover more in a short period of time This is my second time doing the same tour to visit the Vatican City and Museum This time was harder as it was so busy Id strongly recommend to do the first trip of the day when you can last time we were the only ones in the museum for a while This time the place was packed and hot and crowded Our guide Nicoletta did a great job helping us seeing as much as we could Pointing out the highlights She was very patient I dont normally do tours but feel like this one is the one to go as it is efficient and informative
