Wonderful experience

Our tour guide was Ilaria and she briefed us on what to do and what to expect before we started She was very thorough Our skiptheline tickets saved time and Ilaria guided us through various rooms She related stories and history in important places and gave us time to take photos The listening devices do not have a big range so sometimes if you are left behind you lose the audio Ilaria explained the meanings of the paintings You have to see the works to appreciate the skill and patience of the artists Some staircases were quite narrow and it was easy to get separated from the group in the crowds There are plenty of souvenir shops near the end of the tour Overall it was a wonderful exciting experience Thank you Ilaria

Eddy was a fantastic guide

Eddy greeted us with a perfect mixture of warmth humor and excitement about the adventure we were about to embark on His stories and commentary were the perfect infotainment for our Vatican tour We really enjoyed all the knowledge that he shared gave us quite the appreciation for what we were seeing and experiencing for the first time 10 out of 10 definitely rockstar territory His spontaneous renditions of his favorite 80s music moments were not to be missed Highly recommended

Great visit with a tour by an expert

This was just the right balance of deference to history and topical interest Given you can not see everything in this amazing collection Fred ecoart travel did a good job of highlighting those parts of the story that benefit from seeing in real life For everything else there is Wikipedia I would say a guided tour is certainly worthwhile

Well organised guided tour and an amazing experience

Very good guided experience well Worth it We could skip the line and the tour guide was very knowledgeable There is alot to see and take in so the pace was right Something to note St Peters basilica is just round the corner from the Vatican and worth a visit its free and breathtaking Just follow the walls round on the right from entrance and youll find it

Great Tour For Art Lovers

Our tour guide Danielle was very friendly knowledgeable about the art and the tour was very interesting We chose the tour that included the Raphael rooms which I would highly recommend Although there were tour guides taking groups into the Sistine Chapel we were told that they could not go in with us But Danielle provided a great history beforehand so we knew what to look for The tour was pretty pricey but you get more out of the Vatican museums with a guide Although originally the tour was supposed to include the Basilica I received an email beforehand saying that they could not take us to St Peters because of the Jubilee
