Riccardo was a wonderful guide through the Vatican

Riccardo was a wonderful guide through the Vatican Id definitely recommend him and EcoArt With so many people in tight spaces Im sure its not easy to lead groups through but he did a great job He was knowledgeable and engaging He kept us going at a pretty fast clip and if Id been on my own I wouldve lingered a little longer in certain spots But you have to go with the flow of foot traffic so I understood He took us into side rooms and showed us special spots that I dont think everyone knows to seek out He also gave us plenty of time before we went into the Sistine Chapel for bathroom breaks and clearly communicated where to meet Even though we were in a crowd once we got inside the Chapel I didnt feel rushed or jostled I know theres probably a lot more to the Vatican Museums that we didnt get to see All the tours seem to hit the same highlights But what we saw was incredible And after 25 hours on your feet it was nice to take a break outside and then have easy access into St Peters Basilica with our tour group Hopefully Ill get back to the Vatican Museums someday to see the rest

Great Experience with Riccardo and EcoArt

It was on my bucket list to see the Vatican and especially the Sistine Chapel After majoring in Art History and seeing these pieces on slides I was so excited to finally see everything in person The Vatican does not disappoint Riccardo was a wonderful guide Id definitely recommend him and EcoArt With so many people in tight spaces Im sure its not easy to lead groups through but he did a great job He was knowledgeable and engaging He kept us going at a pretty fast clip and if Id been on my own I wouldve lingered a little longer in certain spots But you have to go with the flow of foot traffic so I understood He took us into side rooms and showed us special spots that I dont think everyone knows to seek out He also gave us plenty of time before we went into the Sistine Chapel for bathroom breaks and clearly communicated where to meet Even though we were in a crowd once we got inside the Chapel I didnt feel rushed or jostled I know theres probably a lot more to the Vatican Museums that we didnt get to see All the tours seem to hit the same highlights But what we saw was incredible And after 25 hours on your feet it was nice to take a break outside and then have easy access into St Peters Basilica Hopefully Ill get back to the Vatican Museums someday to see the rest

Entertaining day in the Vatican

We had a great overall experience with Ahmed our guide for a recent EcoArt tour of the Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museum Everything was well organized from the instructions for the meeting spot to the handing out of audio devices the eventual entry into the museum and the navigation throughout But what we most appreciated about Ahmed was his storytelling often peppered with humorous or sarcastic asides He didnt overdo it on the information and rather carefully chose which artifacts tapestries and paintings to gather around and succinctly tell the relevant story with a focus on the human element We learned a lot about Rafael Michelangelo and their antagonistic relationship with each other As a student of archeology Ahmed always had answers whenever he was asked a question and this knowledge combined with a penchant for storytelling in his rich Scottish burr made for an excellent tour
