Full description

You'll have yourself a skip-the-line tour, with entry tickets included to experience the Papal Audience. Then, Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums! Delve into history of Renaissance by experiencing first-hand its spectacular paintings and frescoes. Make full worth your travel when guided by a licensed leader.On meeting your guide; you will be swept away initially by participating in Pope Francis' audience. And guess what? This gathering happens every Wednesday without fail - either at St.Peter's Square or inside the borders of Vatican State at Nervi Hall.As we dive further on our journey; behold world's smallest sovereign state hidden behind these walls - The great Vatican City! Step into the intricate history of St. Peter's Square. Understand its weighty significance for Catholic folks worldwide. Your skip-the-line tickets, right? These would allow swift admission to that treasure trove called Vatican Museum—the repository of rare and matchless collectibles from days gone by. You'll gaze upon famed Renaissance works scribed by artists like Raphael, Leonardo, Botticelli—and Michelangelo too! But breathtaking frescoes and exquisite paintings aren't all on offer here—oh no, not at all! Let your guide escort you towards Pigna's gardens next—an architectural delight—and move onto those octagonal courtyards as well where 'The Laocoon,' standing majestically awaits—a sculpture echoing the ethos of ancient Rome in gorgeous detail.After this visual feast might I add—with an air mysteriousness—that a jaunt through Sistine Chapel lies ahead before we culminate our journey. At that point, depending on your preference, you might opt to extend your stay in the Museums or depart with our guide. Just a heads up though—sometimes Vatican staff may unexpectedly decide to cancel the papal audience at the very last moment. However, we assure you that should this occur, the tour of Vatican museums will continue as planned and we'll refund 10% of your fee. Please remember this important detail when planning for Papal Audience—arrival must be around fifteen to twenty minutes ahead.
