Wonderful Tour of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel

Our Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel tour with Nicoletta was wonderful Nicoletta was so interesting and pointed out so many great things She was considerate and friendly making sure we had a bathroom break before the tour and a water stop at a fountain as well as stopping in the shade to stay out the heat She was easy to follow with her flag and easy to hear with the listening devices we recd from the museum also all of the EcoArt guides were super easy to find when we first met and they were really organized getting everyone in the correct group Nicoletta was such a great guide and I really gained so much by taking her tour and she really made our visit to the Vatican a special experience Thank you

Stunning place of history and beauty a must see

A tour of Vatican City has always been a place my wife and I have wanted to do if we got the chance The tour and our tour guide Oscar did not disappoint He was funny and helped us relate to the monumental effort it took to achieve the magnificent artistry on display The history of the Hall of Tapestries Michelangelo and Rafaello were particularly interesting Oscar showed his integrity and made sure we respected the rules of the Sistine Chapel despite separate tourists groups lacking that respect At the end of the tour of the Vatican Museum Oscar showed us the best way to get into St Peters Basilica and where to find the tomb of the Popes This tour was highly engaging and factual and I would recommend using Oscar and EcoArt To finish skip the line access is necessary The regular queue waiting time was several hours long even in the hottest Roman heatwave on record which is when we visited
