Here’s an overview of your tour
Join me for a private Vatican tour and let's discover the Vatican secrets together. Skip the lines with your priority ticket and let's enter the Vatican Museums for a journey through some of the most valuable art in the world.
As you walk through the various rooms and galleries, you'll discover the impressive Pope's collection: from ancient art from Rome or Egypt to contemporary art we'll pass through the geographic and the tapestries corridors at your own pace.
This is a great way to witness a small part of the Pope's private lifestyle as you'll peak into the ancient apartments and admire the beauty of paintings and statues from all historical periods. As you wander through the courtyards, galleries, and corridors, feel free to ask me any questions you have.
Enter the amazing Sistine Chapel, where you will have the chance to admire the magnificent Michelangelo’s frescoes in their full beauty. Hear about the symbolism of Michelangelo's famous frescoes and take your time to absorb the beauty of this room, meditate, think or pray.
Finally, end your private tour with a delicious coffee in a very local place. Before we say goodbye, ask me all your burning questions about the city and places you have visited. I'm more than happy to give you local insights about my hometown.
See you soon!
PS: Entrance tickets are not included in the price online. I will buy you the best available tickets according to your booked date and time and you can pay me when we meet
