Excellent Tour of the Vatican Museum Sistine Chapel with Guiseppe

I am not someone who generally pays for guided tours and basically to avoid the long queue to get tickets I can honestly say it was the best decision I made while in Rome We were there in early March which is the quiet season and it was still packed wouldnt like to guess what it is like in the height of the tourist season Our guide Guiseppe was fantastic His knowledge and passion for the museum was obvious from the get go He is also an extremely funny friendly and charming individual I learnt so much from Guiseppe most of which I would have missed if I had just walked around on my own I would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering this tour book with EcoArt and ask for Guiseppe to be your guide

1210 if youre not a huge art fan

Maria Laura and EcoArt is the BEST option for a tour The tour itself was very fast and on schedule so if you are a huge art fan and want to stop and look at each piece then this tour is DEFINITELY not for you If youre looking for a quick visit to the Vatican and the Basilica while also learning about the history and some artwork then this tour is a 1010 Laura was super knowledgeable kind and funny You can really tell she loves what she does
