You’ll have the opportunity to learn about the Chapel’s fascinating history and the profound significance of its artwork.

Finally, the tour concludes with a visit to the breathtaking St. Peter’s Basilica, one of the most important landmarks of Rome. Your guide will provide a detailed account of the history and architectural significance of the basilica, including its stunning works of art and breathtaking design.

Overall, this private Vatican tour is a perfect way to discover the beauty and richness of Rome’s artistic and cultural heritage. With a well-planned itinerary and an expert guide to accompany you, you’re guaranteed a memorable experience that you will cherish for years to come.

First Stop:Vatican Museums

Your guide will take you through the Vatican Museums, leading you through exclusive, never-before-used secret passageways. As you explore, please note that there is no chatting allowed, so be prepared to focus on the intriguing features that you may have missed on your own.

During this part of the tour, you’ll have the opportunity to experience the main highlights of the Vatican Museums, including:

Raphael’s masterpiece

Raphael’s last artwork before his death was The Transfiguration, which is now one of the most renowned paintings displayed in the Pinacoteca of the Vatican Museums.

The famous spiral staircase

Donato Bramante, the celebrated Italian architect, designed two Bramante Staircases in the Vatican. While the original Bramante Staircase is off-limits to visitors, the contemporary version can be explored during a private tour of the Vatican.

The Sculpture of Laocoön

This sculpture is a must-see at the Vatican Museums, and standing before it allows you to fully appreciate its significance.

The Rotunda Room

During your tour of the Rotunda Room, you can witness the stunning Oculus ceiling, adorned with beautiful rosettes, and a magnificent mosaic design based on a second-century pattern, which has remarkably retained its vibrant colors.

The Porphyry Basin is another breathtaking attraction in the Rotunda Room, serving as the focal point of the space. This enormous red basin was initially used to decorate one of ancient Rome’s primary public areas.

Galleria degli Arazzi

The Tapestry Hall is a significant part of the Vatican Museum collection. When you visit this area, don’t forget to glance up at the ceiling, which looks three-dimensional but is, in fact, a painted illusion.

The room of Maps

Inside this gallery, you’ll find a series of meticulously crafted topographical maps of Italy and its regions, all of which are hand-painted. It’s worth noting that this gallery spans an impressive length of 120 meters, which is longer than a football field.

The Papal Residence

The Vatican Museums, which used to serve as the Popes’ residence, boast many notable features, including the Borgia apartments and Raphael rooms.

The Raphael rooms are undoubtedly the most prominent attraction of this site, showcasing artwork by Raphael that highlights Rome’s High Medieval period.

Niccoline Chapel

This astonishingly well-preserved masterpiece from the fourteenth century is situated at the center of the Apostolic Palace, but it’s not commonly displayed. As it’s tucked away behind the Raphael Rooms, it’s not typically included in the regular Vatican Museum tour. However, with the Private Vatican Tour, you may have the chance to admire this artwork.

Cabinet of the Masks

The Vatican Museum holds many hidden treasures, and the Cabinet of the Masks is undoubtedly one of them. This exhibition showcases a plethora of sculptures, most of which are inspired by Ancient Greek mythology. Therefore, it is considered one of the Museum’s best-kept secrets, waiting to be explored during the Vatican Private Tour.

Second Stop:Sistine Chapel

Walking into the Sistine Chapel is an unforgettable experience that will leave you in awe. Situated inside the Vatican Museums on the right, the Sistine Chapel boasts stunning frescoes on its ceiling and rear wall, painted by Michelangelo Buonarroti in the 15th century.

Many of the world’s greatest artists, such as Raphael, Botticelli, and Pietro, have contributed to the exquisite frescoes and paintings that adorn the Sistine Chapel. Some of the most notable artworks that you can see in the Sistine Chapel include:

Fresco of Last Judgment

The Last Judgment, Michelangelo’s most renowned creation, is a fresco located above the chapel’s altar. This magnificent artwork portrays hell and took four years to complete.

The Last Supper

The renowned fresco, “The Last Supper,” at the Sistine Chapel was composed by the Italian Renaissance artists Cosimo Rosselli and Biagio d’Antonio in 1481-1482.

Creation of Eve

Another masterpiece by Michelangelo adorns the center of the ceiling, and the composition is perfect. When viewed from a distance, the creation, the hands, and the background scenery create a harmonious and stunning display.

Third Stop:St. Peter's Basilica

The Vatican Private Tour concludes with a visit to St. Peter’s Basilica, the last and final adventure of the tour. To access the basilica, a connecting door from the Vatican Museums is used, ensuring that visitors do not have to go through security again. With the Vatican Private Tour, you can experience the architectural complexity of St. Peter’s Church with an exclusive private guide.

St. Peter’s Basilica is an architectural marvel and one of the most important religious sites in the world. The basilica’s interior is adorned with ornate decorations, stunning sculptures, and intricate mosaics that tell the story of Christianity. The dome of the basilica is an impressive feat of engineering and offers a breathtaking view of Rome from the top.

The private guide will provide insights into the history and significance of St. Peter’s Basilica as well as answer any questions that you may have. You will have ample time to explore the basilica, admire its beauty, and take in its spiritual atmosphere. Whether you are religious or not, St. Peter’s Basilica is an awe-inspiring sight that is not to be missed when in Rome.

The Bernini Canopy

As you enter Saint Peter’s Basilica, you will be struck by the extraordinary design of the structure. The first thing that will catch your eye is the magnificent Bernini’s Canopy, a massive bronze structure created by the renowned Italian artist Gianlorenzo Bernini. The canopy is so impressive that it will leave you in awe and wonder.

Pietà by Michelangelo

As you walk to the right of the entrance, you will come across the Pietà, one of Michelangelo’s most moving masterpieces. The sculpture depicts the Virgin Mary holding the lifeless body of Jesus in her lap with a serene expression on her face. The work is so beautiful that it can stir even the coldest hearts with its deep emotional resonance.

The Pope Alexander VII Memorial

To the left of the Canopy, you can spot the magnificent memorial of Pope Alexander VII, designed by Bernini himself. Considered to be his last masterpiece, the memorial portrays the pope in a prayerful posture and is surrounded by four female statues.

The Saint Peter statue

The statue of Saint Peter, constructed in the 5th century AD, is a renowned depiction of the Prince of the Apostles. This bronze sculpture portrays Saint Peter seated on a marble throne and serves as a potent reminder of his status as the first Pope.

Dome of St. Peter’s Basilica

The Dome of Saint Peter’s Basilica is an architectural masterpiece that never fails to impress visitors with its grandeur and beauty. Designed by the renowned artist Michelangelo, the dome is an iconic feature of the Vatican skyline and a testament to the genius of the Renaissance period.

One of the most striking aspects of the dome is its incredible height, which can be fully appreciated from the inside. The interior is adorned with dazzling golden mosaics that reflect the light in a mesmerizing way, creating a sense of awe and wonder for those lucky enough to witness it.

To reach the base of the dome, visitors must climb 551 steps. While this climb is not included in the Vatican Private Tour, there is an optional Dome Climb tour available for those who want to experience the dome up close and personal.

Over the course of three hours, our tour will take you on a journey through the Vatican’s artistic treasures, including the expansive Vatican Museums and Michelangelo’s stunning murals in the Sistine Chapel. Along the way, our knowledgeable guide will share insights into the fascinating history and culture of this iconic location.
