Overview of your Florence tour:

The smallest country in the world and an absolute monarchy, the Vatican city boasts an enormous and the most exclusive art collection. From the Masters of the Sistine Chapel, to the Michelangelo's dome for St. Peter's basilica, to the vast collections of the Ancient Roman, Etruscan, Egyptian and Italian Renaissance art - it would take a lifetime to explore it all! On this tour, we enjoy the unmissable masterpieces, hear the incredible stories of Popes and their powerful nephews, their land and art ambitions, prohibited encounters, and of course the history of Christianity from St. Peter to our days. My favorite highlight of the tour - and the most unexpected! - are the gorgeous panoramic gardens created for the meditation walks of the Popes. This tour is a rare intellectual treat, a sensory delight, and an exclusive glimpse into the lives of some of the most powerful people in world history - the Popes! Passport or EU ID and catholic clothing are required in order to enter the Vatican.
