one of the most fascinating destinations in Italy. After meeting your

State closed to the public. This will be a rare opportunity to see
Vatican City state "from within."

by Charlamagene more then a thousand years ago is still a Vatican
burial ground, nearby Audience Hall sees not only pilgrims but bishops
and cardinals heading for their annual meetings.,Vatican clerks rushing
in the morning to the offices of the " Fabbrica di San Pietro" the body
that runs the most famous church in the word and it activities. The
highlight of that part is the visit of world famous Vatican Mosaic
Workshop to see the artisans at work restoring the old mosaic and
creating the new projects.

renaissance Vatican walls will take us to the entrance to Vatican
Museums and the Sistine Chapel. A Cappucino stop may be offered on the
way to get more energy. Our admissions will be pre booked with

tour of the Vatican collection with all important highlights between
ancient and renaissance art.

that made the tour so rich. This will be the time to ask questions
regarding the collection and art in general. There will be extra time
for in depth study of the Sistine Chapel, the most important stop on
your museum walk.
After a short break your tour will continue in St
Peters Basilica. We will be able to access the church skipping log
security lines. The visit starts with the Vatican Grottoes with tombs
of over 150 popes including the tomb of John Paul II and then with the
church itself. many of our guests says that we leave the best for last.

!. In depth visit follows and ends at St Peter's Square where tour ends.
