Vatican Private Guided Tours | Treasures abound, mysteries revealed, plot twists and turns, myths and facts separated. Your expert private guide will reveal it all as they expertly talk to you about the art, history, and architecture. Your guide will be with you for three-hours so pick your brain 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 it concerned about 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 was commissioned by Pope Julius II to paint his private apartment. Interestingly, Raphael was rather unknown at that time, but what he created now has definitely made him famous posthumously. In those times, rivalry among artists was great, and it was fraught with tension if one painter was chosen by the Vatican over another.
As you tour along, your guide will also reveal to you that Michelangelo was not that 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 ceiling and what challenges he had to overcome to produce the masterpiece he did. His paintings had so much depth and meaning which will be revealed by your guide.
The tour will end in St Peter’s Basilica, that too 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!
