Departure Point

Viale Vaticano, Roma RM, Italy Vatican Museums Entrance, below the white gate topped by the statues of Michelangelo and Raphael. Street address: viale Vaticano. Your tour guide will have a sign with your name on it.

  • Vatican Museums, Vatican City, Italy
    With over nine miles of galleries, it is difficult to see everything in the Vatican on a fleeting visit.  The Gallery of Maps and the Gallery of Tapestries hold fantastic treasures as does the Gallery of the Candelabra where you can see the sculpture of Lacoon and his sons. 
    120 minutes
  • Stanze di Raffaello, Vatican City, Italy
    Raphael’s Rooms alone are spectacular and worthy of a prolonged visit,  and of course you could spend a half day in Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel with its wonderful frescoes and still not see everything this magnificent chapel has to offer.   On this special extended tour however we shall ensure you have time for a more in-depth appreciation of the Vatican and its wonderful artworks.  You will see amazing sculptures, some very famous and some virtually unknown.  We will ensure you see all of the “must see” sights but also some very special treasures that you we not aware existed. The Borgia Apartments are one of the gems not on the usual tourist itinerary.  In the 15th century the Spanish cardinal Rodrigo Borgia, Pope Alexander VI lived here with his family.  There are some stunning family portraits and your guide will let you in on some of the  secrets of this infamous family.  Your guide will explain some of the religious symbolism behind the portraits themselves and give you an insight into the lives of the Pope and his enigmatic daughter Lucretia and son Cesare.
    120 minutes
  • Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, Italy
    You guide will take you to the see the highlight of any Vatican tour, the Sistine Chapel.  There is no talking inside so your guide will explain what to look for when you see Michelangelo’s breathtaking frescoes that adorn the chapel; the artist spent eight years of his life painting this spectacular ceiling.  How did he do it?  Ask your guide!
    30 minutes
  • St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, Italy
    Following the visit to the chapel you proceed to Saint Peter’s Basilica.  This is one of the premier religious buildings for those of catholic persuasion and was build over the tomb of Saint Peter himself.  It took 120 years to complete and many of the Renaissance artists of the period were involved in some way in the building and decoration of this magnificent edifice.  Michelangelo painted his “Pietà” that is displayed inside the church and you can see Bernini’s splendid altarpiece as well as the chair of Saint Peter.  There is something wonderful to see everywhere you look! 
    60 minutes
  • St. Peter's Square, Vatican City, Italy
    Finally you are taken to Saint Peters Square where your guide will wish you goodbye but not before telling you about Bernini’s statues that surround the square and pointing out other interesting sights.
