Guided tour of the Vatican Museums - VIP service
Overview
Unraveling among the immense collection of Vatican museums is practically impossible for those who enter for the first time.
The amount of paintings, frescoes, statues is frightening and at first impact among the crowd and the confusion can intimidates and stuns.
I mention it because that is exactly what happened to me, in the early 1970s, the first time I crossed the monumental entrance to the Vatican museums inaugurated on 7 December 1932 by Pope Pius XI.
Already climbing the helical staircase I was seized by a kind of vertigo, which was immediately overwhelmed by the wonder of the immense collection. When at the end of the College I was following a course, to be able to obtain the qualification of tourist guide issued by the Holy See I felt the same sensation, and I remembered that first time.
This Museum can be visited with a group, alone, with an audio guide, but nothing can replace the emotional and sensory contact that you can have with a private guide
