Excellent tour of Vatican with Laura from EcoArt

Tour guide was named Laura She did an excellent job with the tour and is very knowledgeable of the Vatican art and history She squeezed a huge amount of information into the 2 hour tour

Eyeopening Tour for a first time visit to Rome

Asunta was so knowledgeable and explained everything so well She kept us very attentive with the museum displays from the statues to the tapestries Asunta highlighted the importance of the works from floor to ceiling The tour was worth the price For a first visit to Rome were glad we chose this tour

Worth the time and money but plan ahead

Completely worth the early morning 8a tour schedule and the cost of the skip the line option Our guide moved us smoothly past long lines and through rooms and rooms of absolutely breathtaking opulence art and architecture in the Vatican Museum While personal space at the Museum and Sistine Chapel was limited we did not feel like we we terribly rushed or packed in so tightly that we could barely move although the Sistine Chapel is small and it can get tight But if you have the right attitude its a great experience Our guide gave us a lot of things to look for in the Chapel paintings before going in but guides are not allowed to speak while there Be sure to allow several hours of free time afterward to wander around St Peters Basilica

Great experience

I was slightly concerned about the ease of finding our group but the company gave wonderful ad easytofollow instructions for meeting our tour guide Assunta our guide was fantastic She was knowledgeable about the incredible array or art we saw had very interesting tidbits to share and was skilled at navigating a group through a sea of humanity Well done My only complaint is that we were not able to stay in the museum longer to explore portions not covered by our tour
