Detailed Description
This 3 hour walking tour begins at café Vaticano where your guide will be waiting for you with a sign “Colosseum and Vatican Tours” at 8:30 AM.
You will start from the Vatican Museums, where countless works of art are carefully preserved. You will explore the Pinecone Courtyard, Gallery of the Candelabra, Gallery of the Tapestries, Gallery of the Maps, Raphael Rooms, Pope Borgia Apartment, Sistine Chapel.
You will then cross a special passage connecting the Sistine Chapel to the St. Peter’s Basilica and avoid the line outside. The Basilica of St. Peter’s is not a museum, it is a church and sometimes it is closed for Liturgical celebrations without notice. This will not affect your Vatican Museums tour. If the basilica is closed, you will visit another section of the Vatican museum. You will then go to the St. Peter’s Square where the tour ends.
