  • Vatican Museums, Vatican City, Italy
    As this is a private tour group there is the opportunity to visit some of the smaller museum rooms not on the usual tourist trail.  You can go at your own pace and take your time to enjoy the magnificent artwork.  Tours begin at either 9.00 a.m. or 2 pm  - you will meet your guide at the entrance to the Vatican museums and with skip-the-line entry go straight to the Belvedere Courtyard followed by the Pio-Clementino Museum to see the magnificent collection of ancient Roman and Greek Statues.    The tour continues with visits to the Gallery of Tapestries and then on to the largest and most important display of Renaissance maps in the world housed in  the Geographic Gallery.  The largest canvas painting in the Vatican is housed in the Sobiesky Room; learn all about this from the guide as well as details of the beautiful frescoes that adorn the Immaculate Conception Rooms.

  • Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, Italy
    Of course, the tour highlight is the Sistine Chapel where you can see Michelangelo’s magnificent frescoes, as well as those of Botticelli and other famous artists.  Your guide will regale you with the history of the chapel as well as recounting interesting facts and anecdotes, including details of the conclave that is held to elect the new Pope.

    Sabrina was a wonderful guide. She listened to what we wanted to experience and made it happen. Her wealth of knowledge, good English, and great personality made our tour unforgettable. She made sure we found our ride before leaving us and was so helpful with suggestions after the tour.

    Great tour guide. Too many people. Only issue is we felt rushed to get through. Didn't see as many art pieces as we wanted. Time allotted needs to be longer.
