TOUR DESCRIPTION
Experience the wonder of the Vatican on this three hour Rome walking tour with a native English-speaking guide. See the three major attractions - St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel, as well as numerous lesser known highlights. Don't be overwhelmed by the reputation of the Vatican, let your experienced guide enable you to fully appreciate your visit.
This three hour Rome walking tour includes St. Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums, and the Sistine Chapel. Explore the world's smallest country, its largest church and an impressive collection of fine art. The Vatican is one of the most interesting and breathtakingly beautiful sites in the world.

In 1508, Michelangelo was commissioned by Pope Julius II della Rovere to repaint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. This is where you can see on of his most well known frescoes, the Last Judgement. This fresco covers the entire end wall of the chapel, and is one of the highlights for visitors to the Sistine Chapel.

The Vatican Museums can be overwhelming to the first time visitor so allow your experienced guide show you some of the major attractions, as well as some of the lesser known spots, and share with you the history, architecture, and politics of the Vatican. However, the Vatican is not just gold, pomp and stateliness! It has a history full of dark tales of deceit and even lust! A world of discovery awaits you.

All guides are native English-speakers and/or Roman archaeologists. Entrance fees to the Vatican Museums are NOT included. A supplement of approximately 20 euros (adult) or 14 euros (student) is payable direct on the day of travel.
