What to expect

Enjoy a 3 hrs tour of the Vatican's Sistine Chapel and museum and St Peters' basilica by an english speaking art-historian guide. With only 8 people in your group, you'll feel like being on a private tour.

Your tour will focus on the Renaissance period during which the Sistine Chapel and Saint Peter's Basilica were built. Discover the Vatican as your guide will tell you more about the Popes of Rome, their enclave and the fascinating stories of how they are elected to office.

Continue learning about Michaelangelo's life at the Vatican, about his relationship with Pope Julius II and how he worked alongside fellow artists to create their masterpieces including La pietà. Along with your expert guides, you will tour the Sistine Chapel spending as much time as possible viewing and discussing one of the most famous works of art in the world.

Visit Saint Pater's Basilica, the world's most famous and largest Catholic church. It is home to masterpieces by Michaelangelo and Bernini. Retrace the history of the basilica and the story of the simple fisherman who became the first Pope of Christianity.

You will also have time to take in the Belvedere courtyard, the impressive Pio Clementino museum with its beautiful Greek and Roman statues. Your guide will also show you the stunning Candelabra gallery and the Tapestries Gallery, examples of Bernini and Bramante's work.

Lastly, explore Saint Peter's square, home to important Papal ceremonies. Here you will have time to admire Michaelangelo's dome and Bernini's colonnades.
