A private Vatican tour is a
walking way inside Vatican city seeing lots of things.
The tour will start from you hotel or location.
I will pick up you and we will drive to the Vatican musem.
At this point I will go to park the car and I will go back to you in a few minuts.
Can be easier to go in the afternoon because Vatican museum are less crowded.
If you wish, even you can reserve the entrance with an additional cost.
So the line to go inside the museum is very famous and we have to skip it, in the sense that we have to go there, when the line, in general, is ending down.The,Vatican museum open for individual and small group at 8.45 a.m. and will close at 04.00 p.m. from monday to saturday.
Anytime Sistine chapel will close around 5.00 p.m..
The main reason of a tour in the Vatican museum is the Sistine chapel of course and we will arrive there after seeing part of the musuem.
So we start to visit in order: the Cortile della Pigna, Belvedere, Pio Clementino Museum, the Gallery of Candelabra, the Gallery of Tapestries, the Gallery of Maps,if you wish Raphael's Rooms and finally the Sistine Chapel.
From the Sistine chapel we will go inside the San Peter Basilica passing from an inside step, saving a lot of time.In general people leave the museum and walk all over around the Vatican walls to go inside the church. So, we will save a lot of time.
In the Basilica,we will see many different things like the famous statue "Pietà"by Michelangelo and many other fantastic masterpieces made by artists like Bernini and Canova.
Total the Vatican tour is about 3-4 hours,comprending the time to pick up you from your hotel (if it is in the historical center,like are in general)and the time to drive you back.
The Vatican musem tour and the tour of the San Peter Basilica can be included in a full day tour of Rome.
So you can tour the city of Rome visiting with Rudy the most important sites and after visiting the Vatican Museum, the sistine chapel and the San Peter Basilica.Rudy will be with you anytime.
