Overview

This is an excellent opportunity for early risers to experience the Vatican Museums before the crowds arrive. You will be picked up from your hotel before 7:00 AM to meet your guide and enter the museum at 7.15 AM. Your guide will take you through the various collections of the museum, including the ancient sculptures that formed the original collection of Pope Julius II in the Belvedere Courtyard, the Hall of the Maps, the Hall of the Tapestries, the Raphael Rooms, and the Sistine Chapel.

Afterward, you can exit straight into St. Peter's without waiting in line, as the basilica is bathed in the morning sunlight. You will learn about the story of this incredible building, which was constructed over 120 years by the most creative minds of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, including Michelangelo, whose stunning Pietà is housed here, and Bernini, who influenced the appearance of St. Peter's more than any other artist. His artistic vision is also felt outside in the massive square he designed to draw pilgrims towards the church, where your tour will come to an end.

Client Testimonials

This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there, like in every place ... [Read More]

I have traveled to Italy 2x with the IVS for my own pleasure trips and 2x for business with IVS. These guys really pay attention and make your trip go like clockwork. Italy is nuts, just saying! There are so many rules and restrictions now, so we did not want to drive ourselves. Having traveled with them many times and done business on several occasions, most definitely USE this company. They k ... [Read More]

I went to high school with the owner of the company who organized my honeymoon for myself and my now wife from Tokyo. We spent three short weeks seeing Piedmont and experiencing wine paradise there, then heading to Nice in France with our private driver and flying to Rome where honestly 4 days is NOT enough. They keep saying to spend more time and we could not agree more! You need to spend more ti ... [Read More]

In September of 2018 I brought a group of 12 from Venice to Sicily and organized all of my services with the Italy Vacation Specialists. Being a travel agent and in the business, I know how complicated organizing travel arrangements can be in Italy and the IVS team took a huge burden off of me! I would like to start of by saying "THANK YOU" both for the amazing job you did on our trip. There was n ... [Read More]

In August 2018, my family of four and myself travelled from Vancouver, BC to Rome Italy and spent 3 weeks touring Italy with IVS. This company had come highly recommended by many friends and associates of ours who had used them before and indeed to say they do an outstanding job is an understatement. You can tell while being in Italy that it is one complicated place to run tours in, just by the ... [Read More]
