Rome: Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel private tour – Rome, Italy

EXPERIENCE:

Enjoy a private tour of the Vatican Museums as you start your experience of Vatican City, the smallest country in the world and one of the holiest places in Christianity. Skip the ticket line and beat the notorious queues outside so that you spend more time admiring this spectacular destination.
Discover the vast art collection of the Pope, which contains about 7 kilometres of art in total! Hear every word of your private guide and ask every question whilst your guide selects the most interesting highlights to show you. These include the Pio-Clementino Museum and its ancient statues, the Gallery of Maps and its cartographic frescoes, along with the Gallery of Tapestries and its exquisite Flemish wall hangings.
Continue your tour as you reach the Sistine Chapel, a treasure trove of artistic beauty that is a must-see destination in its own right. Michelangelo’s spectacular ceiling is recognised all around the world for its artistic achievement and his famous frescoes of ‘The Last Judgement’ and ‘The Creation of Adam’ are truly awe-inspiring. Learn from your guide why Michelangelo nearly refused such a challenging commission, and why his eventual masterpiece became a cornerstone of the Renaissance.
