Vatican
Museum Ceiling |
| Brilliantly
decorated and lined with masterpieces, the museums are brimming with
treasures and history. Your guide will lead you through the 2000 rooms
that stretch over almost nine miles, and share the stories and secrets
contained within the Vatican's walls. |

Highlights
of the museums are Michelangelo's famous Creation of Adam fresco in
the Sistine Chapel and Raphael's Rooms. After taking in the Vatican
Museums, you will encounter another of Michelangelo's masterpieces,
La Pieta, in St Peter's Basilica.
For a fascinating finish to your small group guided walking tour,
stop to admire magnificent St Peter's Square, as your guide points
out Bernini's ingenious use of optical illusion.
The climb to the top of the dome at St Peter's Basilica is not part
of this tour, however customers are encouraged to climb on their own,
after the tour concludes.
Skip the crowds too
Upgrade to the 8:10am tour and not only will you skip the long lines
(which can last up to two hours!) to enter the Vatican Museums but
gain access as soon as the doors open – before the general public
step foot inside!
Tours are arranged exclusively and never exceed 8 people in total.
Please note, no upgrades available on Wednesday.
Note this tour runs daily except Sunday when the Vatican Museums are
closed.
If you are interested in booking this tour on a Wednesday (morning
tour only), there is the possibility that you will be unable to include
St. Peter's Basilica and St. Peter's Square in your itinerary due
to the weekly Papal Audience |

Chapel – and you jump the queue by booking ahead. You'll enjoy
a mini coach tour of Rome en route to the Vatican and see Michelangelo's
famous Sistine Chapel frescoes, without wasting time waiting in line.
