† ACTIVITY OVERVIEW

 Tour groups in the Vatican Museums are invariably tied to a fixed route determined by the tour operator. Rip up the script! Instead, enter the museums without an overbearing tour guide and the attendant drama of a generic group tour. Escape the crowds and routine on our original Vatican Treasure Hunt!

 The key to opening up the really interesting places inside the Vatican Museums is to know what the very best Vatican tour guide knows, and to have freedom therein without the time limits that restrict guided Vatican tours. There is an important choice to make when deciding how to visit the Vatican Museums.

 This is where our Vatican Quest™ takes centre stage. It has been compiled by an exceptional cicerone, the de facto maestro on Vatican history who charges $150 per hour for private tours. Tricks of the eye, of light and of the mind conceal secret signs and messages in Vatican art and sculpture, and it will be your task to find them. Watch as masterpieces by luminaries such as Raphael, Titian and Giotto come to life, if you decide it.

 Ultimately, you will realize why the Sistine Chapel ceiling defines the unbreakable bond between man, Michelangelo, and God.

 We recommend that you spend four or five hours on our quest-guided Vatican Treasure Hunt, twice that of guide-led Vatican tours that convey a mere fraction of the facts we impart.

 As the museums are rather busy in the morning, we give you entrance later in the day when bucket list hunters have long since dispersed.

 A very detailed treasure hunt that pointed out mystical messages and explained the meaning of obscure symbols in the paintings and sculpture.
