Vatican Museums will amaze you with statues and objects that will recount of the ancient Greece and Rome but also Baroque and Renaissance arazzi together with frescoes and paintings, bas-relief and trompe l’Oeil. The Museum’s heart is Michelangelo genius’ masterwork: the Sistine Chapel. Still to come, St Peter’s Basilica the biggest church in the world, filled with artworks.

Our two tours booked through Emanuele were awesome.  Our tour guides were very knowledgeable and pleasant.  I would highly recommend Romebylocals to book your Italy fours.  They were very responsive and the rest of the members of my family (all 13) agreed.  Thank you for making our experience memorable.  I will see you in 2 years
