beautiful tour of the vatican

We had a tour of the vatican on mondag. Priscila was our tour guide. After a short time going through the necessary security we entered the vatican museum. It was super crowded but with out earpiece in and the extensive knowledge of priscila it was not hard to get lost in the moment. The vactican is a very special place and even better when you have someone there to ask questions. The sixtine chapel and st peter bascilic were the highlights!

Informativ und shon

Wir hatten die Tour mit David. Er hat uns superprofessionell durch die Museen und den Dom geführt und sehr viel und sehr gut erklärt. Die 3 Stunden sind mit ihm wie im Flug vergangen. Tausend Dank!!!

what a wunderful and exciting tour!

If you may think, a tour through the vatican in 3,5 hours must be long and boring, come to rome, book a tour by ecoart and have the lucky punch to meet Francesca. After the 3,5 hours with an amusing and absoulutly well educating tourguide, you would wish to have 3 more. Francesca known absolute everythink about every simply stone and could talk about with an astonish, exciting and kindly nature. EcoArt is 150 percent costumer-frendly and have a first-class service! For example, a short email on the tour-day with last informtion. I appreciated this service verry much and you will it do also!

perfect, perfect, perfect!

Eco Art Travel deserves at least 5 points or more, only for their costumer service! I got an extra E-Mail with the details one day before the tour and in the morning of the tour they even called me on the phone to ask me if it was okay for me that instead of 10 people there would be 17 people in the group. Our tour guide was Francesca and she was simply great! She was enthusiastic, witty, full of energy and simply KNEW EVERYTHING! Her English was perfect and in about 3,5 hours she gives you a full overview of the Vatican history and all its liitle secrets. That is sometimes a bit too much Information... But I can fully recommend to take this tour with EcoArt and Francesca! If I could I would give more than just 5 points!

Good tour

Good tour with a manageable group. The guide Francesca is very knowledgeable. There is so much to see!! You could easily go back 3 or 4 times and probably still not see everything. It does get very crowded so be warned you will be shuffling around in queues for much of the time. Thanks Francesca for a great morning.
