Fred was really helpful and we learned a lot about the Vatican in the museum

Fred was really helpful and we learned a lot about the Vatican in the museum Although it was very pricey were glad that we took a tour as there is so much more to the paintings than it seems We will probably go on more tours with EcoArt

Vatican museum Sistine chapel and Rafael room tour

Giuseppe our guide was excellent he kept the group moving through what was a very claustrophobic experience due to the large crowds at the Vatican museum He kept to the key art pieces and explained the art works extremely well A good litmus test is if my children remembered the details of the tour it meant the explanation was interesting and riveting enough to keep a 9yo and 11yo entertained for 3 hours

Great experience

Our guide Martina was very nice and funny I enjoyed her humor a lot I always prefer going on a tour with a local when I go to big sites because you can learn a lot more information than you can when you are by yourself just reading the signs I recommend going to a tour before 3 because the way to St Peters basilica closes at 5 so you will have to walk all the way around Overall a great time

Our guide was Ella and she was fantastic and extremely knowledgeableIts a busy place but Ella was calm and patientMy advice to anyone visiting The Vatican books a guide with skip the queue as the queues outside are sooo long and the heat in July is unbearable so getting in quick is a big bonus
