Description
We'll meet at the indicated time in Via Tunisi, 4 in Rome, near the main entrance of the Vatican Museums. Thanks to a first access tour, we'll visit the museums in the early hours of the morning, when there are fewer crowds.
Before entering, our guide will introduce the museums and explain in detail the history of the Sistine Chapel, as there is no talking here. Without waiting in line, we'll enter the Vatican Museums and walk towards the Sistine Chapel.
You'll have time to appreciate at your leisure all the details of the frescoes of the Sistine Chapel, before continuing to St. Peter's Basilica. The murals and vault paintings feature masterpieces including The Creation of Adam and The Last Judgment by Michelangelo Buonarroti, the Temptations of Christ by Sandro Botticelli, and the Last Supper by Cosimo Rosselli.
St. Peter's Basilica
