Meet your tour guide at the tour office, located in the oldest neighborhoods of the Vatican, Borgo Pio. Following an introduction by your guide, walk through the charming shops of the Borgo and get some local tips for eating and sightseeing in Rome. Learn a bit about the history of the Sistine Chapel, and then head to the square as a group, passing along the Via della Conciliazione. Admire the flags and surrounding embassies as you walk through this street, which serves as the primary access point to St. Peter's Square. Arrive at St. Peter's Square, which is marked by a towering Egyptian obelisk and enveloped by columns and statues of saints. Hear about the history of the square and the legendary artist Bernini who designed it. En route to the Vatican Museums, see and hear about how residents of the smallest city in the world go about their day-to-day life. Snap a photo of the Swiss guards the pontifical bodyguards in their distinctly Renaissance uniforms. Then, slowly head towards the museum's entrance, where you will be led to a special area reserved for skip-the-line groups. Walk through an astonishing collection of Roman and Greek statues, the Gallery of Tapestries, and the Gallery of Maps. Admire Michelangelo's famous works, including the Creation of Adam and the Last Judgement at the Sistine Chapel. This spectacular fresco evokes lifelike images within the mind, vividly portraying stories of mankind in the biblical era. Finish off your tour with St. Peter's Basilica. You will be brought in front of St. Peter's Church, where a special entrance will allow you to enter directly from the museum and bypass the long queue out in the square.
Η ξενάγηση μας ήταν υπέροχη , η ξεναγός μας η κυρία Αλεξάνδρα εξαιρετική , είχαμε μαζί μας τα παιδιά μας και έκανε τα πάντα για να μας βοηθήσει ώστε να μην κουραστούν τα παιδιά και εμείς . Το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα !!!
The tour was very good. Unfortunately the quality of the headsets for the audio is not ideal, particularly in a place with a lot of background noise. Our guide spoke very quickly (understandable as there was a lot of information to get across), however the earpiece is not sized for everyone and did not fit properly and it felt like we missed a lot of the information for that reason.
Susanna var en rigtig sød og personlig guide. Jeg havde en fornemmelse af at nogle af hendes yndlings værker, ikke var dem man tager til Vatikanet for at se, og det var jo rigtig dejligt. Vi var så heldige at vi var en lille gruppe, så det gjorde oplevelsen mere intim, og hun gav små rejsetips. Helt klart en oplevelse jeg ville tage igen - næste gang jeg skal til Rom. Touren stoppede ved kirken, dejligt at få lov til at udforske den selv
Alisa als Guide war wirklich super! Absolut empfehlenswert! Unsere Tour durch die Vatikanischen Museen, die Sixtinische Kapelle und den Petersdom war ein echtes Highlight in Rom. Sehr gut organisiert und unser Guide hat alles spannend, verständlich und mit viel Wissen vermittelt. Vielen Dank für dieses tolle Erlebnis!
Viskas buvo gerai, nereikėjo laukti jokioje eilėje, gidas darė viską, kad turo metu jaustumėmės gerai ir nepasimestume.
