Entire Vatican Tour 1:00 pm.

From July 2nd it will make more sense for Eco City Tours to make one tour each day at 1:00 pm starting from the meeting point on our map.

After July 2nd if you need an earlier or later tour do ask us if one is available because we do have bookings for these times on most days which we are still running and there might be room for your group to join us.

The tour fee for the 1:00 pm full Vatican tour will include all ticket entry costs and the reservation fee which allows us to skip the entire public line.

We will use the the tour agency line every day which guarantees no waiting in the public queue. Thats Smart.

Here is the tour fee for the 1:00 pm full Vatican tour.

60€ per Adult (over 26 years old), Tour tickets and line pass included.

45€ per Teenager/Student(11-26 years), Tour tickets and line pass included.

What you will see:

The Vatican Museums, Rapheal Rooms, Maps room, tapestries room, so many stolen greek and roman and egyptian statues your head will spin.

Dont worry though because we have ways of making this interesting wthout dumbng it down.

Then you will see the Sistine Chapel, most time will be spent seeing the Chapel and talking about it.

After a short break we then enter St Peters Basilica. Believe it or not most people end up liking this the most.

In St Peters Basilica we take a full walk around its shape (when possible) visiting Papal tombs which is often a laugh.

We reveal the most amazing secrets of the Basilica and its art, doorways, mosaics, altars and then finally the most amazing piece of art inside St Peters basilica.

The Pieta by Michealangelo After the Basilica we take you to the Popes Balcony to reveal St Peters Square which is so interesting it could be a tour on its own.

This tour lasts around about 3.5hrs from the time we enter the museums to the time we say good bye to you.

Although the tour starts at 1:00 pm some folks might be a bit late but we do employ young Irish students whose job it is to wait for you. They will then get you into the museums to your group.

But please dont be too late and if you like you can tip for this service if you need to use it.

Our 1:00 pm meeting point is on our map (see more below on the page), we meet on the steps across the road from the Vatican Museums entrance.

You can easily find us if you look for the Yellow brownish umbrella with pictures of Angels on it.

Christian Rome - Rome at the end of the Pagan Era

Dont Panic, this is not religious!

We start at Piazza Del Popolo, driving down the Corso to Piazza Venezia revealing all its history. we then enter the Jewish Ghetto and onto St Peters Square.

There we focus on the Illuminati, St Peters play with light and astronomy, not forgetting its catholic importance and how Christianity over came paganism. Next we will take you to the hills of Rome taking in the city from high up getting a panoramic view where its more fresh and less crowded.

Not many people visiting Rome get to do this. After that you will enter Trastevere, the eating district of Rome.

In Trastevere you will be shown a small hidden secret garden in a convent. Your next stop is a small Island in the middle of the River Tiber to visit its amazing history and animal sanctuary, here we will take a rest to soak in all you have experienced so far.

After that we will visit the Cat sanctuary of Rome, then the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and a very old hidden library, then the Trevi fountain.

The tour will finish on top of another hill overlooking Rome and the Piazza Del Popolo.
