Fantastic tour of the stunning Vatican Museums with entry into the world famous Sistine Chapel before entering the jaw dropping Basilica of St Peter

Vatican City is at the heart of the Catholic Church and is in fact classified as a separate country. To truly understand the history and features that you will see in the Basilica of St Peter, the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, things should be presented against the backdrop of Catholic belief. Only then does the full force and meaning of the features, monuments, statuary, art, architecture and splendour you will see, truly become clear.

Beginning in the Vatican Museums after skipping the long lines, you will take an educational journey through one of the largest collections of Greek and Roman statuary in the world and learn about the dedication and genius behind some of the greatest contributions to all of western art. Marvel at the most magnificent expression of Renaissance art in the Sistine Chapel with Michelangelo's world famous frescoed ceiling.

See the Rooms of Raphael, a man whose talents were said to have rivaled nature herself.

See St Peters Basilica one of the greatest monuments in all a Christendom built over the course of centuries above a simple Christian tomb at the base of the Vatican hill. This tomb of course contains the bones of St Peter himself. Why not also book our Sts Peter & Paul in Rome Tour to see the principal places associated with these two earliest saints including the Mamertine Prison where they were imprisoned, and the Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls where St Paul's body lies to this day...

Also within the Basilica of St Peter, one can wonder and contemplate the death of Christ before Michelangelo's 'Pieta', the most admired statue in all the world sculpted by the 23 year old hands of the most famous of renaissance artists Michelangelo Buonarroti. For the Catholics amongst you, you may even have the opportunity to have confession here in the very bosom of our Mother Church.

Entry to the Vatican has a certain dress code which means that men and women must keep their legs, shoulders and bust lines covered. Failure to dress appropriately may result in being denied entry by the Vatican officials.
