"I've finished that chapel I was painting. The Pope is quite satisfied." − Michelangelo, upon his completion of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel

"Why do you suffer so? The greater one is, the greater grows one's capacity for suffering. I thought I was learning to live; I was only learning to die." −an excerpt from Leonardo da Vinci’s diary at the time he was painting St. Jerome in the Wilderness which is housed at the Vatican Museums.

Vatican Tour

Vatican Tour Description >


On this Vatican Tour we will lead you through the maze of the Vatican City and look closely at the highlights of the Vatican Museums' marvelous art collection including the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. The Catholic Church has been collecting some of the most treasured art for centuries. A visit to its museums will delight you with its beloved and sometimes surprising art. The Vatican Museums were founded 500 years ago with a discovery of a sculpture in a vineyard near Rome; within a week, the sculpture was the first art piece of what became the museums’ 54 galleries.

At present, the Vatican City boasts a stellar roster of artwork. The core artistry we will visit on this Vatican Tour will be by Michelangelo, Raphael and Bernini. Along the way, brace yourselves for the stories which you will hear: the historic legends, myths, scandals, and secrets of the smallest country in the world, the Vatican City.
