The Vatican is actually a city-state home within the city limits of Rome. Along with having their own laws, Vatican City is the center for the Roman Catholic Church and the residence of the Pope. Many people only wonder is what behind the walls that surround Vatican City on three sides. At The Vatican Tours, we specialize in creating a wonderful tour for your family that will allow you to view and embrace the Vatican highlights without standing in those long lines you may see outside Saint Peters Square, the entrance to Vatican City.

The Vatican highlights will have your family mesmerized at the beauty, splendor, history, and the secrets that are held within this small nation. The main Vatican highlights include Saint Peters Square, Saint Peters Basilica, the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and the Vatican Gardens.

Throughout Vatican City, many sculptures and décor have been preserved for centuries. As you stroll through Vatican City, you will be amazed at the beauty as well as discover the true meaning to many of the unique sculptures that truly do not look like Christian artifacts. Many of the items home in the Vatican have been here for centuries and carry a very different aura than what you might imagine.

A tour of the Vatican Museums will allow you to view Egyptian mummies, sculptures of the various animal gods during pagan times, masterpieces of sculptures and artwork from famous artists throughout history. The Sistine Chapel will give you an idea of the expertise of Michelangelo and the years he spent creating the wall panels on the ceiling and the altar wall. As your private tour guide explains the various wall panels you will be able to feel the burden that was on the shoulders of Michelangelo as he worked endlessly to finish the inspiring details found on the paintings.
