antiquities, and art masterpieces.
Features
of this private tour of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter’s
Basilica:
At the Vatican museums, you will hear amazing
stories about the Vatican itself and the artists who made it the world's richest storehouse of art, culture and history. Your private guide will
show you the most important galleries and works as you make your way to the
Sistine Chapel, which thrills visitors with its majesty and the brilliance of
Michelangelo.
Painted by Michelangelo in the early 16th
century, the Sistine Chapel ceiling frescoes (best known for the iconic Creation of Adam) are a priceless collection of masterpieces.
With your guide you’ll be able to take the “VIP
back door” into St. Peter’s basilica, avoiding the endless security lines
outside. As you step into the church see if your jaw doesn’t drop!
There is not an inch of undecorated space in this massive church. Resting on 800 pillars and able to hold over
60,000 worshippers, the church houses a mind-boggling quantity of artworks of
every type imaginable. Among these the
most precious is the Pietà, Michelangelo's moving magnum opus sculpted in
marble.
Finally, stroll St. Peter's Square and take in
the magnitude and splendor of the largest church in Christendom from the
exterior.
Please
remember that all visitors are required to have their shoulders and legs
covered to below the knee when visiting the Vatican City, and that the Vatican
Museums are closed on Sundays and religious holidays.

We will have to relay to other suppliers but it’s not guaranteed.
You will be notified in case of lack of unavailability and offered an alternative solution for you to still have a wonderful experience during your visit; for example, instead of the Vatican, we can take you to see other beautiful churches in Rome.
We will be able to provide a certain answer regarding availability 7 weeks ahead for the Vatican, in refer to the selected date of your tour.
