With our private guide, you will enter the Vatican Museums before the general public, allowing you to explore masterpieces such as Raphael’s Transfiguration, the Belgian Tapestries, and Da Vinci’s St. Jerome. Marvel at the Papal Carriages and be amazed by the Sistine Chapel before gaining access to St. Peter’s Basilica through a special passage used by only a few tours.
