Overview
On day one we begin the tour with a visit to the Vatican Museums. Once inside, you will be guided through the major galleries such as the Belvedere Courtyard which houses the ancient and classical pieces that so many artists took their inspiration from as well as the Room of the Muses, Gallery of Maps and of course the magnificent Rooms of Raphael before culminating our visit in the Sistine Chapel itself. Before entering the chapel, you will hear all about Michelangelo and his struggles in accepting and completing the work that soon became the single most recognized piece of art in the World.
On day two we return to the Vatican and St Peter's Square to discuss and debate the history of the Vatican City State before entering the Basilica. Here, we cover the main monuments such as Michelangelo's beautiful Pieta' and Dome, the Baldacchino and other works by Bernini and the Transfiguration by Raphael. Also included are the Crypt of St Peter, the Holy Altar and other monuments of artistic importance. We go beneath the Basilica to see the Vatacombs and climb Michelangelo's cupola. Our two day Vatican tour concludes outside on the portico to discuss the Piazza created by Bernini, the Obelisk and Swiss Guards.
