Itinerary

This tour enables you to skip queues to enter the Vatican Museums. The tour is done in a group of no more than 20 people so that your guide can personally cater to you and make your visit to Vatican City a special and unforgettable experience.

Your Vatican tour starts in the Vatican Museums which house over 14 kilometres of the most extensive collection of art in the world. Your guide will lead you through the 2000 rooms that stretch along this 14 kilometres. Hear stories and secrets contained within the Museum’s walls and pleasures originally meant for the exclusive enjoyment of the Pope.

Continue to see see Michelangelo’s famous ‘Creation of Adam’, a fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The painting illustrates the Biblical story from the Book of Genesis in which God the Father breathes life into Adam, the first man.

Visit Saint Peter’s Basilica that houses another of Michelangelo’s masterpieces, La Pieta. Also see the beautiful Saint Peter’s Square, as your guide points out famous Italian sculptor and architect, Bernini’s ingenious use of optical illusion.

After exploring the interesting art exhibits at the Museums, the tour ends near the Basilica of St. Peter’s in the Vatican.
