Skip the line Vatican Museum and its many parts

Catalina was delightful An escortshepherd marvelous herder of cats Answering questions with warmth and information that was charming and very informative The expression of art and the nuances in different characters of all sorts of arts included in the Vatican museum Are really loved its seems by visitors and guides that give all life through interpretation Giving useful reminders of how to look at the art and reminders of how its it was meant to be viewed In spite of or because of the circumstances Catalina is very practiced in moving and flowing through all masses with polite charm and humor The skip the line offseason Im not sure if Rome or Vatican City have one of those any longer was great the small group was perfect for me I could hear and ask questions with ease to have somebody that enjoyed and expressed with such joyful enthusiasm for the art in the Vatican museum it was a pleasure to participate with I would absolutely tour again at a different time to enjoy more than the thumbnail sketch that went by too quickly with Catalina a wonderful representative of Ecoart

A thoughtful and personal experience of the Vatican mueseum and Sistine chapel

Giuseppe was a knowledgeable fun and enthusiastic tour guide during our tour of the Vatican City museums and Sistine Chapel He made the museum come to life with his stories and focused on the meaningful art pieces in the extensive Vatican museum gallery Even among the crowds you felt like you were on a private tour walking through the museum Highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to enjoy the Vatican museum Sistine chapel and skip the line to get into Saint Peters basilica Definitely worth it
