Your experience

Take a pretty interesting walk through the worlds of art and religion inside one of the most amazing museums on earth.

With your private guide by your side, walk through the Vatican Museums where you can check out the Greek Cross Gallery which holds onto some impressive old sarcophagi.

After that, step into the Sala degli Animali to see a virtual menagerie with both make-believe and real creatures.

Walk through the Upper Galleries-in-the-Gallery-of-Maps and see different styles cartographers have used in drawing the world over time.

Be ready to face the beauty of Raphael Rooms with gorgeous frescoes like The School of Athens and The Deliverance of Saint Peter.

Take a rest after that in the Borgia Apartments.

At last, let us behold the marvelous Sistine Chapel-the real gem of the Vatican besides St.

Peter's Basilica.
