Our Extended Vatican Tour gives you a great true appreciation of all that the Vatican City has to offer; from the Sistine Chapel and Raphael Rooms to a vast number of incredible statues, many of which are renowned and some which are almost unheard of. The tour itinerary has been planned to ensure that you don’t miss the most famous sites and sights which you will want to visit and also make sure that you get to see some things you never knew existed. You will head through the Gallery of Maps, Gallery of Tapestries, Gallery of the Candelabra and view the renowned sculpture of Lacoon and his sons; plus, a real highlight of the Vatican Museums - the beautiful Raphael Rooms. Your guide will also give you detailed information on Michelangelo’s famous frescoes in the Sistine Chapel so that once inside you will have time to fully appreciate the splendor of this historical chapel.
A standout stop on this tour is the Borgia Apartments. In the 15th century these rooms were home to the infamous former cardinal Rodrigo Borgia (then Pope Alexander VI). You’ll see some of the family portraits and hear from your guide some of the secrets of one of the most renowned and most controversial papal families. There is a lot of history hidden within the paintings’ religious content. You will also have a peek into the scandalous life of the Pope’s beautiful daughter Lucretia and also his son Cesare.

It is then time for a tour of St. Peter’s Basilica where you will explore the numerous side chapels with their hidden crypts. You will see Michelangelo’s Pietà and your guide will explain why this is the only work that he signed. You will gain an appreciation of the mastery that went into the creation of Bernini’s altarpiece and learn how Michelangelo triumphed over his contemporaries for the honour to paint St. Peter’s magnificent dome. There is still more to see though below ground level. You guide will lead you below ground to the papal crypt where, over the centuries, many of the Popes have been interred. This special place is a site of pilgrimage for many Catholics.
