Tour of Vatican City and St Peters Chapel.

Felix (our guide) was brilliant and we could not ask for any more. We met him and Paulo at the steps outside and the moment he introduced himself we knew it would be a good tour. His knowledge around the tour was excellent and he had time to answer all of our questions. It was a fascinating 3hrs and we we could not ask for much more. He made the tour interesting and their was so much to learn. Thank you for the experience and the day - we could not have asked for much more.

Skip the Line - Vatician Guided Tour

Can't recommend this tour enough! From start to finish, we could not fault a thing. The day before our tour we received an email from Paolo to let us know where to find him the following day and to remind us of the rules/guidelines we had to follow to ensure we were allowed into the Vatican. The following day Paolo was where he said he would be at the exact time stated on his email. He then passed us over to our guide, Felix, who was just as kind and friendly as Paolo. For the crowds at the Vatican that day we skipped the line and got through the security checks in no time. The tour itself was great - Felix took time to explain all of the key pieces throughout the whole tour and always made sure we fully understood. He also asked frequently if anyone had any questions for him and had no objections to you asking anything out with that time. I think it's safe to say, we wouldn't have enjoyed our visit to the Vatican as much if it hadn't been for the insight Felix passed on as there would have been so many details we would've missed. If I ever return to Rome, I will not hesitate to use EcoArt Travel to book other tours.
