Great tour and guide

We thought Adriano was a great tour guide The Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel was unsurprisingly rather busy and crowded so thought he did a smashing job of not making the tour feel too rushed as well as finding places we could stop briefly whilst he talked through the exhibits Feel like we got exactly the experience EcoArt advertised group size I think was 8 people and we skipped the line which already at 0900am was very long
