Third time was the charm

True words. The guided "Fast track Access" tour with Eco Art Travel was by far the best of three tours we have taken to the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. Our lovely guide, Chiara, had a wealth of knowledge which she was excited to share with us. She had the best personality!!! Her English was excellent. She speaks German and French too. Loved chatting with her. Her degree in Art History and Antiquity served us very well. We would highly recommend Eco Art Travel for the small group tours. No headset needed. Grazie mille Chiara. You made the tour so enjoyable.

VIP tour

Total VIP treatment here! Small group really means small group - it was just our family of four. We got to ask our really friendly, informative and professional tour guide any question, and could by-pass or move to areas of our own particular interest. A great tour, which opens your eyes to all things Vatican City! Paying for skipping the line really does save you hours in queueing, meaning you can save yourself at least half a day, which on precious holiday time is well worth the money!

Couldn't ask for a better experience.

Couldn't ask for a better experience. Our guide, Stefania, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. She was able to avoid the crowds and we still saw everything. The skip the line feature was absolutely worth the price.

Mom, Aunt & Grandma loved it

I live in Rome, but my family does not. Recently my mother, aunt and grandmother all came to visit me and I was tasked with the responsibility of organising their days. I knew they had to see the Vatican, but knowing how crazy it can get -- I was weary of sending them in alone and felt like they wouldn't really get anything out of the visit. Luckily found a solution in this tour -- I had heard great things from friends about the Vatican guides and decided it was my best chance of giving them a memorable experience, I even joined them on the tour. Our guide was Luciano - and we could not have been happier. My mom, grandma and aunt, none of which have any art history interest or education - were mesmerised throughout the tour. Luciano was able to cater to each of them, asses what they might be interested in and cater to the tour to them. The tour was a few weeks ago, but they are still talking about it as the single best thing they did while in Rome. Thank you Luciano!
