Our guides, all with Vatican accreditation, will be able to accompany you through the absolute masterpieces and the precious collections of the Vatican Museums , making you discover important details, which you surely would not have even noticed.

The visit will continue in the splendid Sistine Chapel , where you will learn everything about the history of Michelangelo ‘s magnificent masterpiece , but also interesting anecdotes, such as the boneless self-portrait, which the artist painted precisely to underline that he would have preferred to be flayed alive rather than repaint the Sistine Chapel .

You will then be able to enter St. Peter’s Basilica , one of the most beautiful architectural works in the world, through direct access. You will have the opportunity to admire magnificent works such as the bronze canopy that overlooks the papal altar and above all ” La Pietà “, the beautiful sculpture by Michelangelo .
