A Vatican Museums private guided tour allows you to see some of the hidden beauty of the museums that may be missed on a regular tour. Some examples of these hidden gems include:
The Cortile del Belvedere:
This courtyard houses many sculptures, including the famous Apollo Belvedere and the Laocoön group. It’s an open-air area of the Vatican Museums that are not always included on regular tours. But our private guide can take you there and give you more information about the sculptures.
Keep in mind, these options may not be always available, as the Vatican museums have certain areas that are closed for restoration or not included in regular tours.

But your private guide will be able to give you the most up-to-date information on what is open and available to visit during your tour.

The Private Guided tour would also include a visit to the Sistine Chapel. By taking this tour you will understand why the famous chapel is famous for its ceiling painted by Michelangelo. The visit also included some hidden gems.

The Ignudi:
These are the four nude figures located in the top corners of the ceiling fresco. They were added by Michelangelo as a symbol of the human form and its beauty.

Our private guide will provide you with more information about the significance of these figures and the meaning behind them.

The Prophets and Sibyls:
These are the figures located on the upper part of the walls, around the windows. They are lesser-known figures, but they’re just as important as the main scenes of the ceiling fresco.

With our private guide, you can have more information about the stories and figures represented in these frescoes.

The tour’s last stop culminates with a visit to St. Peter’s Basilica, one of the largest and most important churches in the world.

Our tour guide will provide information on the history of the church and its artworks, including Michelangelo’s famous sculptures, such as the “Pieta” and the “Laurentian stairway”.
