The Vatican is on the top of the list of sights to see for every traveler coming to Rome and visiting the World’s smallest country is supposed to be an
exciting and fun event. But in a place filled with so many world-famous treasures and so little time to see them all, your day could potentially turn in to a
stressful nightmare. Let us take care of you so that you can just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride; you are on holidays after all!
Not only will we make sure to get you into the Vatican Museums hassle-free and without having to queue up, but you will also be entering one hour before the general public. The early start may be daunting at first but your effort will be fully rewarded when you get to admire the breath-taking Sistine Chapel much less crowded than usual– a truly unique experience. Your tour will thereafter continue through the beautiful Papal Palaces. Our passionate tour guides have put together a perfect itinerary covering all the main highlights, including the Raphael Rooms and the best of the Ancient Greek and Roman sculptures and Renaissance collections.
As the grand finale, you will be escorted through the privileged entrance to the Basilica of St. Peter’s. You will be close up with the world renowned Pietà by Michelangelo and take in the architecture, statues and mosaics kept inside this awe-inspiring treasure trove. Join us on this unique journey to gain an insider understanding of the Vatican history and its present day events.
