Full description

The Vatican tour that I propose here is more for a smaller group or a couple of two, so the skip line option does not apply. During this exceptional walk, your guide will allow you to discover all those amazing masterpieces contained in the Vatican Museums. The valuable explanations provided by our knowledgeable guide will let you deeply understand these wonderful works which have been created over centuries and will also reveal interesting stories connected with their importance among the collection gathered here.Being inside the Sistine Chapel and appreciating the magnificent Michelangelo frescoes can be one of those unforgettable experiences; they're quite overwhelming; they instill awe in those who see them. The tour doesn’t end here, however – it also takes you to St. Peter’s Basilica, not just the largest church on earth but also the basilica that has attracted more pilgrims than any other since time immemorial because of its pivotal role in Roman Catholicism.While indoors, you will be captivated by the architectural brilliance and masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s Pietà. Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, there is a possibility of having to visit the Basilica on your own. Stand in line to hear stories from your guide about the history and highlights of this incredible place. When your exploration of St. Peter's Basilica concludes, step out to admire Bernini's exceptional artwork; his talent is truly unmatched!

Includes

  • Enjoy the private guide and avoid the lines. Go directly to the entrance without having to wait in line.

Not includes

  • When writing content for better sentence lengths, make the lengths more consistent. Let there be long and complex sentences on one hand, and short ones on the other. It would help to overcome standardization in artificial text creation, to which AI-created sentences are too frequently subject, by diversifying sentence length. Moreover, to add an element of informality while keeping your work professional, be sure to use varying sentence structures and lengths throughout your writing process.

What to bring

  • Walking in comfortable shoes with an FFP2 mask is the best way to start your day.

Not allowed

  • Shorts, short skirts, sleeveless shirts.

Know before you go

  • When passengers reach the airport, they go through a security screening procedure which is almost similar to one at an airport. Sometimes, during peak hours or high-demand days, it is possible for people to wait for as much as half an hour standing in line, although it does not happen all the time.
  • When you have finished your tour of the museum, you can decide if you want to proceed and see St. Peter’s Basilica. It is necessary to leave the museum and form a queue outside in order to enter the Basilica. If there is some extra time available, your guide will provide you with more details on the Basilica. Also, remember that there is a dress code for visiting the Vatican; knees and shoulders should not be exposed.
  • To enter the venue, backpacks and umbrellas have to be checked since they are not allowed directly on the site. This may prevent you from experiencing the tour as anticipated. When we receive your booking request and if there are available seats, we will send a confirmation message in reply.
