Itinerary
You will meet your certified, expert tour guide and join your elite group to make your way to the museums entrance and through the winding entrance to begin your museum tour without the hassle of lines and confusion. You will listen as you follow your guide through the hallways of Ancient Roman and Greek sculptures, see the famous Belvedere Torso and learn about the ancient art that surrounds you. As you follow your guide through the Hall of Tapestries and Gallery of Maps you will find yourself in the Raphael Rooms to see the famous frescoes by this Renaissance Master. Upon leaving this area, your guide will take you into the Sistine Chapel to stand in awe of Michelangelo's masterpiece ceiling as well as his Last Judgment. From here, if the passageway is open, you will exit in St. Peter's Square where your guide will leave you with a brief explanation of the Basilica and you can go inside on your own. If the passage is closed, you will exit where you entered the museums.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
