THE VATICAN TOUR

My husband and I booked the fast track Sistine Chapel and St Peters Basillica tour. The tour was organized and started on time which was great. Stephano was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and kept things interesting, with a great sense of humour. The Vatican is exceptionally crowded, it was good to have someone take us around and provide insight into the art, history and religion.

Tour Schneller Zugang zu den Vatikanischen Museen, Sixtinische Kapelle und Petersdom mit Chiara

Wir waren das erste Mal in Rom und sehr gespannt auf die Tour durch den Vatikan. Unsere Erwartungen wurden bei weitem übertroffen. Die Tour war bestens vorbereitet. Wir wurden pünktlich an unsrerem Treffpunkt abgeholt. Chiara führte uns dann über 3 Stunden durch das Museum, die sixtinische Kapelle bis in den Petersdom. Chaira arbeitet im Vatikan, dass sich über die ganze Führung sehr positiv wiederspiegelte (sehr sachkundig und freundlich). Sie ist mit Leib und Seele dabei. Wir waren nur 5 Personen bei der Führung, was natürlich super war. Auch Fotos von unserer kleinen Gruppe hat Sie super gemacht. Wir können diese Tour mit Chiara jedem weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank an EcoTravel und Chiara.

SUPERB TOUR

Ricardo was our guide. He spoke excellent English and was very knowledgable. The tour was well organised, left on time, and the fast track access was well worth it. We were through security and starting the tour in a few minutes. Ricardo left us inside the Basilica so we had the opportunity to climb the Basilica if we wanted before exiting the Vatican City. Good value for money and highly recommend this company.

ACTUALLY FAMILY OF MARRIED CHILDREN

Definitely must visit the Vatican when in Rome. If possible do not go in July and August! It is a must see , whether for religious, spiritual or artistic reason. The varied art works, tapestries, sculptures, paintings, beside the famed Sistine Chapel are breathtaking . Taking a tour helped reel in and explain all there was to experience. Our first visit to Rome were three hour tours of the Vatican and colosseum during a heat wave. Would do it again! Do plan and book skip the line !!
