Your experience

Your expert guide will meet you at the Vatican Museum entrance, ensuring you walk right in to what many consider the finest art collection in the world.

With an inside scoop on every inch of these museums, your expert will take you very swiftly through a huge array of more than 1,200 works of art.

This tour covers primarily the Raphael Rooms,Greek and Roman sculpture which is seen in the courtyard of Belvedere, and Gallery of Maps; however, it mainly points to one main feature: the Sistine Chapel.

While walking through the old papal apartments,the guide will be talking about important artworks from Ancient Greece and Rome to show how these classical masterpieces influenced artistic quality during the Renaissance in Italy.

Most of this tour is dedicated to the jaw-dropping Sistine Chapel where we shall discuss his commissioning and final touches by Michelangelo Buonarroti.

Discover the real story of this amazing but flawed artist, who saw himself as a sculptor more than a painter but still spent years making frescoes on a ceiling that was 44 feet high.

This will explain the physical and mental struggles the work took on him, helping to sort out what is myth, actual history, and Hollywood for this famous artistic success.
