The Vatican Museums at dawn: an early morning visit to the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica

**Art lovers will rejoice at this semi-private tour which includes admiring one of the world's richest art collections**. Our tour starts in the **early morning**, as we will arrive at the museum **before it opens to the general public**. This means that we bypass the usual crowds at the museum. The tour accommodates a maximum of 12 people, making it a **personal** and **exclusive experience**. Discover some of the most famous sites within the **Vatican Museums** before we visit the **Sistine Chapel**. Take in the priceless frescoes as well as some of **Michelangelo's masterpieces** on site. From the Sistine Chapel, we skip the queue, and move onto **St. Peter's Basilica**, the largest and most important church in the Christian faith. St. Peter's is also home to many Renaissance and Baroque paintings. You will view two of the most famous sculptures in the world: **Michelangelo's Pieta'** and **Bernini's Baldachin**. We end the Vatican Museum tour in the grand St. Peter's Square. Here, Michelango's Cupola and Bernini's double colonnade dominate the whole area thanks to their majestic beauty. We promise that you will not regret the early wake!
