This Full Day Vatican Tour is the start of a mysterious and fascinating trip: a voyage across more than 20 centuries of creativity through which art and history intertwine, telling the story of what human ingenuity has created through the ages. Our tour begin just beyond a massive bronze door that, like magic, takes you out of Italy and into the smallest country in the world: the Vatican. There are priceless works of art here, collected by the popes or often expressly commissioned by them.

You'll discover masterpieces in a sort of crescendo as you pass from one room to another, till we will step inside the Sistine Chapel which is without doubt one of the greatest art treasures of all time and t's the last stop at the Vatican Museums.
Next, will enter the highest temple of Christendom: St. Peter's Basilica (you'll skip the line here too!), to admire the Pieta and the imposing Dome from Michelangelo, the Tomb of St. Peter, Bernini's Baldacchino, view of Pope's Residence (outside), St Peter's Square with its magic prospectives and the Vatican Grottos where most popes are buried.
