Could have been bad

This would not have been a good experience without our guide, Jeanette. The meet up was at the bottom of the stairs across the street from the Vatican. Communications the day before and directions were pretty clear. It's a lot of walking, wear good shoes. The bad side is that the Vatican, Chapel and Basilica were all ridiculously jam packed. (Glaringly apparent that this religious government is desperate for your money) It was difficult to maneuver let alone actually see anything but, Jeanette was absolutely the best. Not only was she confidant and very knowledgeable but, she was interesting, funny and engaging. She managed our group of about 20 people, which contained a wide age range, (pre-teen boys to octogenarians) like a champ. She was able to get us closer to exhibits and she pointed out things we might have otherwise missed. She did not sugar coat the history but provided accurate, well documented information in a way that wove things together memorably. Without her, we would have been sardines, trying to swim upstream. We would tour just about anything with this lady, and other guides seemed equally proficient. A big YES to Eco-Travel Rome, tour group company.

GREAT EXPERIENCE

Ginett was really something else. A great guide with a sense of humour and really prepared. When we will come back with friends, we will personally look for her again to share her experience.

Tour of Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica

My wife and I did this tour on our honeymoon and were led by Adriana, who did an excellent job. She helped explain the history of the sites, and did a great job with the Sistine Chapel. She gave us plenty of time in the chapel and at various other highlights to soak it in and look for what she had taught us. Great tour!
