DESCRIPTION
Go to the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel on a private 3-hour guided tour including direct access to Basilica of St. Peter's. Discover one of the 7 Wonders of the World and the world's greatest art collection on a private guided tour of the Vatican City, and marvel at masterpieces of art by Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, Pinturicchio, Perugino, and Michelangelo.
Your guide will take you past the long lines to enter the Vatican Museums, giving you more time to explore the art, and less time wasted on waiting.
Originally conceived for the sole enjoyment of the Pope, the lavish labyrinth is made up of 2,000 rooms that stretch over 9 miles. It is said that if you spent 60 seconds looking at every item, it would take you 12 years to see everything.
Your guide will lead you to some of the main attractions, as well as reveal secrets hidden among the established masterpieces. An undoubted highlight will be Michelangelo's frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. Admire his fabled "Creation of Adam," and wander through the former apartments of the popes in Raphael's Rooms. Then, it's time for another Michelangelo masterpiece. Go inside the Basilica of St. Peter's to see his "La Pieta" among all the other treasures.
After your tour is finished you will be able to spend more time by yourself.

There were four of us, two of whom are photographers. We visited a place, but our cameras were feeling sluggish. It was impossible! Taking pictures inside the Sistine Chapel was strictly prohibited. The guards there are extremely vigilant, making it totally unfeasible. While we were all captivated by the beauty of the Sistine Chapel, I couldn't help but feel disappointed for not being allowed to capture any photos.
