Wake up in the morning at your centrally located hotel and wait for our driver to come and pick you up. You’ll reach the Vatican area to join the group.
After meeting your professional guide at our meeting point, you’ll be given a headset and you’ll reach the Vatican Museum’s entrance, in a group of no more than 20 people. This less stress guided tour will grant you a skip-the-line, saving you the hassle of waiting in line for several hours.
You’ll tour the gallery, visiting all those main spots you’ve heard about like the Gallery of Maps, the Gallery of Tapestries, the Borgia Apartments. The guide will tell you everything about the Raphael Rooms and their exceptional frescoes, including The School Of Athens, and will bring you to the Sistine Chapel, whose ceiling is one of the cornerstone works of High Renaissance art.
The tour couldn’t be complete without St. Peter’s Square the open space which lies before the basilica, redesigned by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and being itself an architectural masterpiece of the Baroque age. You’ll admire St. Peter’s Basilica(outside) that isn’t only the largest church in the world, but that contains several pieces of fine art: think the canopy designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini or the Pietà by Michelangelo.
