Vatican Museums

You will meet your certified, expert tour guide and join your elite group to make your way to the museums entrance and through the winding entrance to begin your museum tour without the hassle of lines and confusion. You will listen as you follow your guide through the hallways of Ancient Roman and Greek sculptures, see the famous Belvedere Torso and learn about the ancient art that surrounds you. As you follow your guide through the Hall of Tapestries and Gallery of Maps you will find yourself in the Raphael Rooms to see the famous frescoes by this Renaissance Master. Upon leaving this area, your guide will take you into the Sistine Chapel to stand in awe of Michelangelo's masterpiece ceiling as well as his Last Judgment. From here, if the passageway is open, you will exit in St. Peter's Square where your guide will leave you with a brief explanation of the Basilica and you can go inside on your own. If the passage is closed, you will exit where you entered the museums.
