Tour Description

Take advantage of the early morning entrance to the Vatican Museum, before it is invaded by the daily masses of thousands of tourists. You will enjoy a semi-deserted Sistine Chapel where you will share the moment with your family and perhaps a few other lucky visitors and private guides. Then, continue on to visit the vast museums and end the tour in the impressive and ornate St Peter’s Cathedral.
