My father and I did this tour with the fantastic tour guide Marcello

My father and I did this tour with the fantastic tour guide Marcello The areas we got to see were fantastic and the commentary Marcello gave throughout was informative and understandable He had visual prompts he bought with him to show us to help add further detail and he answered all our additional questions At no point did we feel rushed which can be tricky in such a busy museum I would 100 recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rome and hopefully youre lucky enough to get Marcello worth adding I did a similar tour 2 years ago with a different company but this tour was hundreds of times better

The best tour guide for the Sistine Chapel Vatican Museum and St Peters Basilica

This tour was amazing because of the time of year we went and our tour guide Maria Laura a Florence native by the way was the most fun honest and engaging tour guide we had our whole trip in Italy She had a short amount of time with us but was able to have us see the highlights of the Vatican Museum St Peters Baslica and the Sistine Chapel We went in early December so it wasnt as busy either She knows a lot about the history of the structures we saw and was able to deliver the history in a very compelling way Highly recommend EcoArt Tours and if youre lucky Maria Laura will be your tour guide

Over all a nice visit Lots and lots of walking and stairs that can be difficult to navigate

Our tour guide Marina was great Very knowledgeable and easy to learn from She made an otherwise rainy bleak day fun The directions for where to meet werent very clear though The company needs to give better directions We thought we were suppose to meet at the steps directly in front of the Vatican Museum That is where our driver dropped us off in the pouring rain By the time we were able to figure out it was at the bottom of the steep set of steps on the other side of the street we were soaking wet
