Enjoy one full day of immersion in the heart of Christianity, visiting the most astonishing monuments of the religious Rome. A chauffeured car will pick you up at the hotel and you will reach your private English speaking licensed guide at the entrance of the Vatican Museums.
Skipping the one mile-long line, you will enter the most visited Museums in the world to admire the magnificent galleries along the Pope’s Palaces. You will see the collections of Greek and Roman statues, the mosaics, the monumental statues of the Emperors and the works of art collected along the centuries by Cardinals and Popes. Follow the path used by ambassadors and princes of Europe before meeting the High Pontiff.
At the end of the series of halls of the Museums, you will enter the Sistine Chapel, which is one of the holiest places for Catholics. Admire the colossal frescoes by Michelangelo, describing the past and the future of Mankind, from the Creation to the Last Judgment.
The Sistine Chapel hosts the Conclave, the solemn election of the popes and from here the Cardinals, through the famous white smoke, tell the people assembled in St Peter’s Square, that the Church of Rome has a new Pope. Then, you will reach the Basilica of St Peter, the largest church in the world, triumph of the Baroque art and full of the masterpieces of Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Antonio Canova.
You will feel humble in front of the bronze Baldacchino over the main altar, in the centre of the church under the overwhelming Dome of Michelangelo, in axis with the Tomb of St Peter.
Leaving the church, the guide will suggest you one of our favourite restaurants in Rome. At 2 pm, your car will drive you by the famous Coliseum, the gladiatorial game circus, and the Circus Maximus, the two favourite pastime of the Romans. You will then reach the Catacombs and visit the underground cemetery of the earliest Christians.
