Skip the Line Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel tour

Skip the Line Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel tour The tour was on point informative and interesting Our guide was Serena Her voice is easy to listen to and she added humor to the presentation She kept my attention with a blend of facts and curiosity It was extremely crowded even in early October but the temperatures were comfortable At times it feels like a cattle call while visiting the Vatican and this diminished the sacredness of the place But I still highly recommend EcoTours as worth the money

Worth every penny

I was really debating just waiting in the normal line and sneaking in with other English groups until a friend told me 1 nowadays earbuds are used to communicate between the guide and guests 2 lines for anything related to the Vatican is insane in 2025 because of the golden jubilee I was extremely happy with my choice to book this tour not only for the two reasons I already mentioned but also because our guide Oscar was wonderful Very patient and knowledgeable and genuinely kind and quite funny
