Reviews for Skip The Line: Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel With St. Peter’s Basilica Access
Vatican visit
Carol K
Fabio was a fantastic guide who gave an informative and objective view of both the art and politics of the Vatican. He was kind and patient with all members of the group and kept us entertained throughout. The only downside was the crowds … so many people! Although well managed, the sheer volume of people meant the spiritual nature of the place was lost. I’m glad I went … but wouldn’t make a return visit.
Great experience!

Excellent knowledgeable guides! Kept the group moving. Glad to have avoided a long wait, made the best use of limited time …and energy level
Maria was a great guide!

Maria with EcoTours was lovely - straight to the point and extremely knowledgeable. The “skip the line” really refers to the entrance of the Vatican museum. Once you’re in, you’re among the rest of the crowd FYI. Even with that, Maria was easy to follow and understand. She gave a perfect amount of information for each area, allowed time for questions and breaks if needed, and really knew her stuff. This tour made all the Vatican has to see much more easily digestible in one go.
Brilliant, busy, engaging and beautiful. Awesome guide!

Paulina was awesome! She was knowledgeable and really hit the ‘sweet spot’ of keeping us engaged with appropriate levels of detail and oddities to note throughout the galleries. Really glad we booked, kids were blown away.
Guide was excellent (busy environment handled with skill)

Riccardo was excellent - he was very informative, patient and fully engaging. He absolutely knew the subject matter and made us feel as though we were the only people in the various areas. He encouraged questions and was detailed in his responses. He cared.
