Your experience

Important Notice for Clients Booking in May 2025 Because of the unusual events related to Pope Francis's death and the next conclave to choose a successor, the Sistine Chapel will stay closed until notice is given.

However, the tour will go on as planned and allow a skip-the-line entry to both the Vatican Museums and St.

Peter's Basilica.

We deeply apologize for any trouble this may cause during these rare times.

We hope you will have an outstanding visit; this is a unique chance and a historic moment.

Join a tour to discover the skill and past inside the Vatican Museums.

With no wait entry to more than 1,400 halls, you will save time while moving through one of the biggest and most important art collections in the world.

Meet your guide and start to explore many fine halls, including great Roman and Etruscan collections, among others.

See the Sistine Chapel through the eyes of a smart guide, fully approved by the Vatican.

This special private tour guarantees that it will only be you and your guide, enabling personal inquiries and specific requests about what to see.

The Vatican Museums contain more than four miles of art and just about 20,000 works on display—all put together would form an impressive assemblage.

The Sistine Chapel is a remarkable sanctuary—it shows masterpieces by painters who have become famous in their own right: Perugino, Pinturicchio, Ghirlandaio, Rosselli,Botticelli, Signorelli,della Gatta; and of course Michelangelo.
