Overview of your Rome tour

Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel. ( no St. Peter’s Basilica) A private 2,5 hours tour through the stunning second largest museum in the world and the history of the Papacy. Famous sections like the Candelabra gallery, the Tapestry Gallery and the Gallery of the Maps will trigger hundreds of histories while leading us to visit one of the most celebrated masterpiece in the Arts: the Sistine Chapel; the palatine chapel wanted by Pope Sixtus IV with the famous frescoes by Michelangelo. This is the place where the Pope is elected. Intrigues, plots and seminal events started from here and these long outstanding galleries are willing to reveal it. Please note. The tour ends just before entering the Sistine Chapel which I will have already described thoroughly. Due to the sacred area no explanation of the chapel are tolerated inside. Admission tickets available on the official Vatican Museum website. tickets. museivaticani. va
