Touring the Vatican museum at peak temperatures is no joke But our lovely guide Marina made it a smooth process with her charm patience and knowledge She kept the group moving at just the right pace pointed out the best highlights kept us in the shade as much as she could and stood us close to fans and air conditioning whenever possible Everyone at EcoArt was warm and helpful Highly recommended

Three Cheers for Fabio

Our day began with very easy to understand directions on where to meet prior to entering the grounds Plenty of time made for all the photo opportunities as well as a restroom break prior to beginning the maze of the grounds Water was also available for sale 150 but no fountains for refilling found Our tour guide Fabio was INCREDIBLE He did a stellar job at maintaining the group together while educating on the marvels around us His passion for the tour made it a memorable one and I cannot recommend this tour enough Affordable educational and most of all lots of fun Thank you for the great memories

Exceptional tour of the Vatican

Giuseppe did a fantastic job on this tour He went at a good pace not too slow not too fast and was a wealth of information It was well worth it to avoidskip the long lines as well The amount of art and history was overwhelming but Giuseppe did an excellent job highlighting important pieces and had lots of interesting facts to share Id highly recommend this tour

Super charged my sightseeing

The guide was very knowledgeable and guided us through some of the most notable artistic works in the vatican museum The ability to skip the queue meant that we didnt have to wait in a line that is often over 3 hours long It meant that I had a lot more time to explore some of the other historical sites of the city
