The Vatican Museum holds so many treasures, including the world famous Sistine Chapel and the breathtaking Gallery of Maps and Raphael Rooms. We wanted to beat the crowds and make the most of our time there, so we chose a pre-opening tour of the Sistine Chapel, St Peter’s and the Vatican with The Roman Guy.
I’m quite an independent traveller but there are so many advantages of doing a tour of the Vatican. For one, only tours can enter before 9 am when the general public are admitted, plus you get so much more insight into the history of the site. The Privileged Entrance Tour starts at 7.30 am so you have a huge head start on the crowds and will get to see the rooms in much greater detail. We were handed headsets which meant that we could clearly hear our tour guide but didn’t have to stand right next..The post Beat the Crowds – Sistine Chapel, St Peter’s and Vatican Tour appeared first on Luxury Columnist.
