Fantastic tour!

Felix was a brilliant tour guide. His knowledge on all the history was superb. He also went out of his way to look for wandering people in our group and kept us all together. The tour was the right amount of time and gave us a brilliant insight into Vatican City. Many thanks! Liz & Darren

awesome tour!

We had a great time with our guide Jeanette! She really knows her stuff and made our whole experience pleasant with her great sense of humour and easy going attitude. Despite the crowds and chaos, we would definitely recommend Jeanette to our friends and family as she makes the whole experience informative and enjoyable! Paolo the co-ordinator also made things so easy. From booking to getting to our meeting spot we could not have asked for an easier experience. Thanks for a great Tour!

Great tour

We signed up for a 3 hour fast track tour of the Vatican Museum and St Peters Basilica with EcoArt and they delivered exactly that. Very good communication by email on where to meet our tour guide. Fast entry beating the line. And a very informative tour with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide. Our guide showed a real passion for his work and the tour was a pleasure. Be warned this is a busy place with lots of people and in 3 hours there is a limit to what you can see, particularly in the museum. But it was a great introduction and we stayed behind to walk around St Peters Basilica on our own. Also worth paying the extra 8 Euros to climb the 551 steps of the Dome. I recommend this tour and this tour guide operator.

Real fast track access

Good job, well organised by EcoArt staff and our guide, Priscilla was great. Led us through the crowded area smoothly without any hitch! Gave us good information along the way and answered all questions. We would recommend going in small group. We enjoyed our day and had an awesome experience. Would like to stay inside the Sistine Chapel longer but the place was just too crowded !
