This tour was just the...

This tour was just the right length - covering the highlights of the Vatican. Our guide was informative and enthusiastic about the tour and was great at explaining the history and significance of the art we were viewing.

Amazing tour for couple!

The Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel was the most anticipated visit of our Rome holiday and we are super happy we booked with EcoArt Travel! Our amazing tour guide for the whole tour Martina was very informative, humorous and organized the group tour very well even with the absolute amass of other tour groups we encountered. For October expectations of crowds, it was very busy for a Wednesday morning! From start to end of the tour it was very well managed for the small group we were ( roughly 16 in the group) by Martina. The whole tour is by foot so would recommend good walking shoes, comfortable and covering clothes and a drink to last a few hours. Saint Peters Basilica is separate from the tour as it is free entrance for everyone, whether by a tour guide or not. Overall we really enjoyed our tour and would recommend EcoArt and Martina as your guide to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel!

Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide

Excellent tour guide, Paulina she was knowledgeable about the history of the Vatican and the art pieces on display. She highlighted some smaller pieces on display and explained their relevance which would easily be missed doing a tour on your own.

Not What We Planned - But Turned Out Great!

We signed up for this tour because the plain skip-the-line tickets were not available. So we booked this tour thinking that once in the museum we would leave the tour and just go off on our own. However, once we met our guide, Nicolette, and listened to her discussion of the Sistine Chapel (from the pictures posted outside in the courtyard) we decided to hang around. As it turns out, that was a wise decision. She was very knowledgeable and, as an archeologist, presented a really interesting perspective on many of the works of art. And she knew a lot about the art from an art-perspective as well. We really enjoyed the tour and are glad that we got to do it.
