With your private guide, you will delve into one of the world’s greatest collections of art and history—including Renaissance masterpieces, like Raphael Rooms, Gallery of Maps & the Gallery of Tapestries. The tour culminates in the breathtaking Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo’s iconic frescoes narrate biblical tales with unmatched artistic brilliance.

Stepping outside, you enter the vast expanse of St. Peter’s Square, designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini to welcome pilgrims from around the world. Here, your private guide explains the architectural magnificence and historical importance of St. Peter’s Basilica.
