Vatican Private Guided Tours | Treasures abound, mysteries revealed, plot twists and turns, myths and facts separated. Your expert private guide will tell it all as they talk to you about the art, history, and architecture. Your guide will be with you for three hours, so hear your thoughts and uncover what you want to know about Ancient times, the Popes, and the artists. Learn a few things about the Popes of the past and their love of artwork, which has allowed visitors today to admire the collections.
Vatican Private Tours |You will learn how influential the Popes were when compiling and acquiring artworks and how they carefully selected painters to paint certain parts of the galleries. A prime example is Raphael’s Rooms, which Pope Julius II commissioned to paint his private apartment. Interestingly, Raphael was relatively unknown then, but what he created now has made him famous posthumously. In those times, rivalry among artists was great, and it was fraught with tension if the Vatican chose one painter over another.
As you tour along, your guide will also reveal that Michelangelo was not thrilled to work in the Sistine Chapel, but why did he? When you see what he produced on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, you will be spellbound. You will learn how difficult it was for him to paint the top and what challenges he had to overcome to produce the masterpiece he did. His paintings had so much depth and meaning, which your guide will reveal.
The tour will end in St Peter’s Basilica through a special skip-the-line door so that you do not have to queue to get in! This is all part of the best of the Vatican private tours! St Peter’s is one of the world’s holiest churches, and the likes of Michelangelo, Bernini, and Bramante have designed it.
