A Highlight of My Rome Trip Huge Thanks to Sara EcoArt

I recently joined the Vatican Small Group Stories tour with EcoArt and it was hands down one of the best parts of my time in Rome Sara was our guide and she was absolutely fantasticknowledgeable passionate and genuinely fun to be around She brought so much context and storytelling to the experience which made the history come alive in a way that stuck with me long after the tour ended The group size was perfectnot too bigso it felt personal and easy to ask questions along the way The pace of the tour was great too wellorganized efficient but never rushed If youre in Rome and want to get a deeper more intimate look at the Vatican I cant recommend EcoArt and especially Sara enough Thanks again for an unforgettable experience

Great accelerated view of Vatican museums

A great experience for our family Polina did a great job condensing so much information into a few hours on a tour that could take days We thoroughly enjoyed skipping the ticket lines and hearing all about the art and history of the museums A great experience I would recommend
