    Full Description

    Many guests have only two or three days in Rome and want to see the Vatican in two or three hours. Our half-day tour covers the most famous and significant sites without rushing and without standing in the long entrance lines, thanks to reserved skip-the-line access.

    We go straight into the Vatican Museums, where we visit the Gallery of Maps, the Rooms of Raphael, the ancient Roman and Greek sculptures, and the Tapestries, before reaching the Sistine Chapel. There we look up at Michelangelo's Last Judgment and the Creation, together with frescoes by Botticelli, Ghirlandaio, and Perugino. The visit closes in the Basilica of St. Peter.

    Our route also reaches the tombs of the Popes, above all John Paul II, and the square where people wait for the smoke after the election, the moment that tells the world a new Pope has been chosen.

    Because the experience stays private, we set the pace together and linger where the group is most interested. The half day remains comfortable from start to finish, with the guide's full attention on the guests.
