itinerary
- Explore the Vatican Museums with your private guide and discover art masterpieces that span 2000 years of history. Admire works of art by the likes of Raphael, Caravaggio and da Vinci, and visit lesser-known accomplishments such as the cartographic frescoes in the Gallery of Maps. Your guide will enthral you with the stories behind these works of art and select the worthiest pieces for your attention.
- Your private tour continues as you reach the Sistine Chapel, a true feast for the eyes that in itself makes the Vatican a must-see destination. Admire Michelangelo’s adorned ceiling, including the frescoes ‘The Creation of Adam’ and ‘The Last Judgment’, and appreciate one of the greatest displays of art ever created. Learn from your guide about the controversy surrounding the work and about how Michelangelo’s creation changed the trajectory of western Art forever.
- Complete your visit as you arrive at St. Peter’s Basilica, one of the holiest and most famous churches in the world. Believed to be built above the remains of St. Peter, the church’s religious importance is matched by its spectacular beauty. The sheer scale and grandeur of the interior is breath-taking, and the contributions of Michelangelo and Bernini make it an even more special destination.
