  6. The Kingdom of Catholicism, Michelangelo & Raphael            3 hours

This entertaining and lively adventure starts in the Vatican Museum, going back 2000 years with a brief explanation of important structures, statues and historical events. We reveal the colorful lives of the emperors, artists, saints and Popes who left their ever-lasting mark in history here.


Inside the Vatican City, we meander our way through the world's largest museum where you will witness some of the most important works of art in the world. See first hand where Michelangelo drew his inspiration, as we un-shroud the scandals, legends and reveal secrets of the city that has inspired pilgrims, artists, Emperors and architects for over 2000 years.


At the end of this itinerary, we arrive at the Sistine Chapel to witness Michelangelo's legendary Renaissance ceiling, considered one of man's greatest gifts to humanity. It is our goal to make sure you leave the chapel with a brilliant understanding of the frescoes, their significance and the lives of the other Renaissance masters who once painted here.
