    Start your tour at the renowned Vatican Museums. Aside from being the home of the Pope, Vatican city is also home to the Vatican Museums, the world’s largest collection of art with 9 miles of art that could wrap around the Vatican walls 4 ½ times! It contains 54 museums, 1400 rooms, chapels, and galleries. Aside from the renowned Sistine Chapel, the museums also display the only work of Leonardo Da Vinci in Rome, St. Jerome, the Raphael Rooms, and the Pinoteca, which contains collections of the Popes, all dating back to the middle ages and are set in chronological order.
    120 minutes
  • Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, Italy
    Michaelangelo’s Sistine Chapel is possibly the most well known masterpiece in modern day, with over 5 million visitors per year. It was a project the artist took on reluctantly because his focus was sculptures, and he would complain about the physical toll it took on his body. It is said that the design of the chapel from Pope Sixtus IV, is modeled after Solomon’s temple from the Old Testament, measuring at just larger than a professional basketball court! There are many more frescoes to admire here from other artists, including: Domenico Ghirlandaio, Pietro Perugino, Cosimo Roselli and Sandro Botticelli.
    30 minutes
  • St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, Italy
    You will head through a secret entry into our last stop on the tour, St. Peter's Basilica: the largest basilica in the world, with markings inside the church to ensure every other basilica would fit inside. The curious visitor is treated to Michelangelo’s Pieta at the front, 150 mosaics, and Bernini’s baldacchino, which stands at 96 feet tall and 100,000 pounds of bronze! Surprisingly, there is only one actual painting in the basilica, and it can be spotted hanging above the Pieta. Many popes are buried in the church or are on display, but most of the popes are buried underneath the basilica including St. Peter, the first pope.

I take a group of students to Rome every year, and we always have Rahul guide us through the city's most important sites. He has extensive knowledge of the history, art and architecture of the city and is great at making the sites come alive. But, most importantly, Rahul is a genuinely nice person. Every year, our students rank getting to know Rahul as their favorite part of the trip. He always learns their names and brings them into the experience of visiting the city. If you are looking for a guide in Rome, Rahul is the best.

Great experience, the jump the queue was worth it alone! Our guide gave logs of stories about the Vatican and the Church. I do wish we could have spent more time in the Sistine Chapel however. Overall, great experience and definitely worth it!

Rahul was amazing. He knew how to navigate crowds quickly, yet take his time with explaining the history of so much. We had two young ones with us and he was attentive to our family’s needs and was patient throughout our experience. I recommend his tours to everyone of every age and group!
