Itinerary

Vatican Private Guided Tour

When you book the Vatican private guided tour, your private guide will take you to the most important areas of the Vatican museums and Saint Peter’s Basilica. The itinerary includes the following:

Cortile Della Pigna

Bronze pinecone from the Roman Age, dated 1st Century AD is located in the courtyard guarded by two peacocks. It is believed this bronze piece comes from Hadrian’s tomb. Emperor Hadrian is renowned for his building projects in the Roman Empire

Cortile del Belvedere

Here you will see many Sculptures from the Roman and Greek.

Hall of the Muses

Admire the “Torso del Belvedere” which is a marble statue, not in its entirety, but shows a nude male. Legend says that Michelangelo was asked to complete the fragmented statue, but he refused because he believed it was already a masterpiece.

Round Hall

Here you will see the golden statues of Hadrian and Hercules. You will also see Nero’s bath built in 64 AD. Masterpieces made of porphyry are exhibited in this beautiful room.

Greek Cross Hall

Here, you will see the porphyry sarcophagi of the family of Emperor Constantine the Great – his mother and daughter.

Candelabra Gallery | Gallery of Tapestries| Gallery of Maps

These three galleries are a must-see and are part of the tour! Be amazed at the Roman and Renaissance periods of artwork and skill.

Sobieski Hall

He was named after the Polish king, Sobieski III. A giant painting depicts his victory against the Turks in 1683, the Battle of Vienna.

Room of the Immaculate Conception

Francis Podiensk was entrusted with the planning and execution of decorating this room. This room is magical, from inlaid marble work to mosaic, from scenes of the virtues of the Virgin to Coronation of the Image of Mary.

Raphael Rooms

Raphael and his assistants have transformed four rooms into works of exquisite art, and you will be enamored with the works on display, such as Cardinal Virtues and The Battle of Ostia.

Sistine Chapel

See the Sistine Chapel painted by Michelangelo. The guided tour will reveal the stories and anecdotes about the most significant works of art in history and tell you about Michelangelo’s genius. You will learn how Michelangelo created his masterpieces and the meaning of figures like Jonah, Adam, Eve, Noah, and many others painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and the wall of the Last Judgment. Our Vatican private guided tour will be a comfortable and enthusiastic experience.
