Amazing Experience with Laura! - This tour was incredible! The artwork that we were able to see was so beautiful and our tour guide, Laura was so knowledgeable of the artwork and explained things so eloquently. Her guidance on the tour made it that much better. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is coming to Rome. Skipping the line at the end of the tour to see the Basilica was well worth it.

In parade through the Vatican - To say that the Vatican Museums are busy is an understatement. It's very, very busy. A guide that literally navigates you through this is almost a 'must'. Certainly to get some information. Guide Monica looked for quieter spots, informed us in detail about what was to come and took us step by step through the Vatican corridors and halls. Packed all around with beautiful art. A successful visit due to Monica's enthusiasm.

Very good experience - We had an amazing time exploring the Vatican museum with our guide Laura. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and navigated us through the crowds. The art work is awe inspiring and she helped understand the intent and meaning of some of the most important ones.

Assunta was a unique guide! - I've been to the Vatican before, but the experience with Assunta was different. She is an excellent guide and it was easy to meet her before the tour. Thank you Assunta for giving me and Rosangela another view of the Vatican!

Perfect amount of time - Tour was just the right amount of time to explore and learn about the museum with access to Chapel and then skip the line at the Basilica. Chiara was magnificent and very knowledgeable.

Excellent tour company and guide - could not have asked for more. - It is peak travel season in Rome so it is important to book a reputable and well-organized tour company and guide. We could not ask for more with EcoArt Travel and our guide Maria Laura. Laura is super knowledgeable, knows the history and made the tour so wonderful. Highlight of our Rome trip. Thank you.

Wonderful experience - Our tour guide Sarah was amazing! Very passionate and knowledgeable all along the way. Could have listened to her stories and information all day!
We are glad we did this and would recommend to all. Early morning at this location is the way to go, as we noticed it getting considerably busier when we were leaving.
