You\u2019ll see the highlights everyone dreams about.<\/p>\n
A Vatican experience is impressive, even if you\u2019re elbow-to-elbow with half the planet.\u00a0The Vatican has everything\u2026 except peace and quiet.<\/strong> Crowds are everywhere, corridors are packed and yes, it can feel like a human traffic jam.\u00a0Crowds, chaos and art everywhere.\u00a0That\u2019s the Vatican!\u00a0But that\u2019s part of the experience: you get a sense of how extraordinary this place really is and why everyday over 25.000 visitors are jostling to visit it.<\/p>\n Your guide will help you cut through the chaos, pointing out hidden details and stories. And then comes the Sistine Chapel<\/strong>: Michelangelo\u2019s masterpiece<\/strong> is even more jaw-dropping in person.<\/p>\n By the time you reach\u00a0St. Peter\u2019s Basilica<\/strong>, you\u2019re rewarded again: the dome is massive, the mosaics are a surprise and, somehow, the sheer scale makes the crowds fade into the background.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll leave tired, maybe a little dizzy from the hordes, but with a bunch of stories, a ton of iconic art and memories that stick.<\/p>\n Explanatory note:<\/strong> the description above is meant to be slightly\u00a0sarcastic and ironic,\u00a0while still being realistic<\/strong>. This means: if you choose a Vatican tour, you should be prepared to deal with a crowded place without air conditioning, shoulder to shoulder with thousands of people. For this reason,\u00a0it\u2019s not a tour recommended for families with young children.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You\u2019ll see the highlights everyone dreams about.
