Fantastic Tour

Our guide was Silvia and she was fantastic. She was super friendly and clearly loves the history and art of this place. She made it fun and we had a great time. This company also made it super easy to find the meeting place. Silvia also gave us a great place to go have some really good lunch. Would definitely recommend doing this tour.

Late Day Tour of Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel.

There are so many tours listed but I elected to book with EcoArt Tours on its website (versus going thru TripAdvisor). It was an excellent tour. I went at 3:15 and discovered that it was far, far less crowded than tours earlier in the day. My tour guide was Ilaria (or Hillary). Her nickname was Yaya. She was amazing. Her knowledge and explanations of the art was excellent. I learned so much. She currently works as a art restorer so she really knows her stuff. Her accent was sometimes a little tricky but we had earpieces so it was at least loud enough to hear. I’m just not used to Italian accents so I needed to concentrate more than usual. The meeting point for the tour was easy to find and the transaction online was super easy. I’m so glad I did this tour which consisted of a tour of the Vatican Museum, ending up in the Sistine chapel. When I return someday with my family I will definitely do this tour again. If you’re on the fence, DO IT! You won’t be sorry.
