Qualified English Speaking Guide for the entire duration of the tour.

The usual itinerary inside the Vatican Museums includes some of the most important galleries:

* Pine Cone Courtyard
* Pius Clementine Museum

* Gallery of Maps
* Raphael Rooms
* Borgia Apartment
* Sistine Chapel

(I can customize a tour including other galleries not listed above.
Remember to confirm in advance the itinerary you prefer in the Vatican)


* St. Peter's Basilica

Due to the actual Coronavirus restrictions, there is no direct access from the Sistine Chapel to St. Peter's. Therefore the visit of the Basilica, if accessible, will be made before the Vatican Museums.

Please note that some galleries of the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel or the St. Peter's Basilica, due to unexpected crowds and/or works in progress and/or religious ceremonies, may be closed with no previous advice.

In the summertime women, in case of light dresses, may want to take a couple of scarves as an additional precaution, to cover their shoulders.
