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 !

VATICAN 3HOUR TOUR

Paulo and his partner where great they really took their time to explain everything. They never left anyone behind and did everything in there control to make the tour as smooth. Even though it was crowded and hot like death valley the instructor kept her composure and did an excellent job of getting us through. Highly recommend them and I can't wait to come back. I did have a hard time finding the group but the customer service was great so good that I found the group immediately

WONDERFUL GUIDE

Our tour guide, Priscilla, was wonderful! The tour itself was also very good. It does go through the Vatican Museums very quickly, I would like to go back and take my time. Taking a skip the line tour is a must! If you were not on a “skip the line” tour, the lines to get into the Vatican Museum were very very long. It was well worth it.
