Great tour!

We booked a tour last minute & loved every minute of it! If you have limited time in Rome this tour is perfect. Our tour guide Martina was amazing, she offered great insight even into lesser known art pieces in the museum. She was incredibly funny & was very clear in her presentation and instructions for the tour! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to get the most out of their time at the Vatican! The tour was well organised and very easy to find the location of the starting point.

Great Tour

Martina, our guide, was wonderful: Informative, funny, and warm. The tour was exactly as advertised, and well worth the money. I only wish the museum wasn't at crowded, but hard to blame anyone for wanting to visit this incredible sight.

Our guide Sarah was very knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. Highly recommend visiting with a guide as you then understand the significance and importance of some of the works on display

Oscar the great!!

We chose the 10:15 Vatican Museum tour. This was a great decision. We took a taxi to the meeting point because we were worried that we wouldn't find the right address. This turned out to be a good idea, because the driver dropped us at the exact location of the meeting point. After check in with EcoTour, we were introduced to our tour guide, Oscar. We then moved to the entrance door. The regular admission line was so long, we would have waited hours to get in. But with our tour, we were through the front door and security in just a few minutes. The tour was great, and informative. The best part was our guide, Oscar. He was so knowledgeable, that he constantly gave us interesting facts and kept the entire group engaged. Although the museum was PACKED, Oscar managed to keep us all together and moving smoothly. I thoroughly enjoyed or experience and highly recommend booking with Eco Tours. If you get with Oscar, you are truly lucky.

Even with a large crowd, the EcoArt team did a very nice job in letting us know where to be and where we are moving

Our guide did a super job. Always very professional, kind and considerate. The tour information was well spoken and understood.
