This early morning VIP tour begins just outside the Vatican Museums entrance, where you will meet your expert, local guide. Once inside, your guide will usher you through various rooms filled with priceless art and architecture. Rare marble statues and sarcophagi. Stunning mosaics. The illusionistic trompe l'oeil of the Vatican Museums’ ceilings and walls—every corner of these Vatican chambers reveals yet another timeless treasure.
Beyond these chambers of resplendences, your guide will lead you through the Gallery of the Candelabra, the Gallery of Maps, and the Hall of Tapestries.
Your journey continues through Rafael’s rooms and onward to the Sistine Chapel. Here, you will have the opportunity to admire one of Michelangelo’s most recognizable masterpieces,
The Creation of Adam.
After you have spent ample time in the illustrious Sistine Chapel, your guide will usher you into St. Peter’s Basilica. Here, you will find the shining, golden throne of St. Peter and priceless artwork, sculptures, and architectural designs from masters such as Bernini, Borromini, Bramante, and Michelangelo.
