This tour will take you inside the Vatican Museum, one of the largest museums in the world. After visiting the main galleries and ancient sculptures collections, we will have the opportunity to spend time inside the stunning Sistine Chapel, painted by Michelangelo.

Then, through a special passageway, accessible only with a Vatican tour guide, you will have a privileged entrance to the overwhelming Saint Peter’s Basilica.

As your guide, I will tell you about the Renaissance art and gossips about Michelangelo and the popes, about the classical sculptures and beautiful frescoes. I will show you the most hidden details of the Vatican to help you appreciate it fully.

The exact course of this tour depends on your interests and which sections are open on that day. Generally, we visit the main rooms of the museum including the Sistine Chapel, and then we enter the St. Peter’s Basilica.
