Great job

Rome was breath taking and the Vatican was icing on the cake It was unbelievable Our guide was superb as it was the busiest time of year yet we were able to get expert commentary and the time needed to fully appreciate the Vatican

Skip the line at the Vatican it is worth the price of admission

The guide was knowledgeable and informative She provided great detail and readily answered questions There is a lot to see and limited animosity to cover it all based upon the number of competing tours I would readily recommend this one

Stefano is amazing

Stefano was a brilliant tour guide Wed been reluctant to book any guided tours in Rome as we thought the kids would get bored so the rest of our visits to places had all been self guided However we were advised that the best way to see the Vatican was with a guide and we are so glad we did Stefano was funny and engaging and the kids loved him

Our tour guide Guia from EcoArt made the difference

We booked the Upgraded Early Access Tour I am not sure what the Upgraded we paid for and how early is earlybut when we got there there were already a bunch of other early access tour there With that said the VIatour set us up with the local company EcoArt and we had a small group of 13 I think we really lucked out to have Guia to be our tour guide She was amazing She was more of an art teach explaining things we are about to see in laymans terms so we all can appreciate what we are seeing Guia spent 2 years hands on restoring the Sistine Chapel so she really does know what she was talking about What you get to see in the museum is probably controlled by the Vatican seems like every tour group is funneled like cattle through a shootEcoArt was great in sending out communications the day before and the meeting point instructions were spot on however please have your people show up before so we know we were in the right placeMen didnt really have to wear long pants to the vatican we did but lots and lots of people wore shorts Not great on a hot summer day but I understand its up the the guards discretion and we didnt want to chance it Overall it was a great experience
