Early Morning Vatican Museums and St. Peter's Basilica
Meet your Rome tour guide at 7:15 AM and set out for your tour.
At 8:00 AM, enter the museum and collect your tickets and headsets once inside.
Head towards the magnificent galleries. While most groups race forward to reach the Sistine Chapel, you will instead explore the museums before they open to the general public, including the Hall of Candelabra, the Hall of Tapestries, and the Hall of Maps.
Stop at the Raphael Rooms. From there, follow the required path through the contemporary art section, where you will pause before reaching the Sistine Chapel ahead of the larger crowds.
Once the museums open to the general public, head towards St. Peter's Basilica before the crowds reach Michelangelo's painted chapel. Unless it is closed due to religious services, you will visit what is probably the most incredible temple of Christianity in the world.
End of the tour.
