Alberto was a terrific guide and this was awesome

Excellent tour led by a great guide Alberto We were able to see so much if the Vatican Museum and the Sisteen Chapel left me speechless Our guide Alberto was exceptional explaining things prior to seeing then and then being able to enjoy the time with the Museum and Chapel Would have lived to have seen the inside of St Peters but our tour time was too late in the afternoon Would have loved to have been able to share a picture of the ceiling with friends but alas in the name of preservation no photos are allowed in the chapel

Tolle Führung durch das Vatikanische Museum mit Martina von EcoArtTravel

Wir hatten eine tolle Führung durch das Vatikanische Museum mit Martina von EcoArtTravel Der CheckIn am Treffpunkt lief super Martina hat uns ohne Warteschlange ins Museum gebracht und uns in ca 2 Stunden die Höhepunkte des Museums kompetent und unterhaltsam vorgestellt Der direkte Zugang zum Petersdom im Anschluss ist nicht sicher siehe Beschreibung und es sah so aus dass wir ihn nicht nutzen können weil es vorher eine Papstaudienz gab aber Martina hat es hinbekommen dass wir als eine der ersten Gruppen doch rübergehen konnten vielen Dank insbesondere dafür liebe Martina
