Your experience

Your journey might begin either from our specified gathering location or with immediate collection from your lodging in Rome, based on the choice you have made.

As soon as you reach the usually busy museum front, you will meet your personal tour guide who will hand over to you your skip-the-line ticket.

This ticket gives you the right to go past the long entry line and walk straight to the check at the metal detector.

The visit will start on a beautiful wide terrace that shows a great view of St.

Peter’s dome above the Vatican gardens, a perfect spot for a group picture.

After this, your personal guide will take you through the best parts of the museum, which includes top works and items from many cultures and civilizations.

Visit the Pio Clementine Museum and be awed by the vast Tapestry Hall.

Then, after walking through the Hall of the Painted Maps, step into the Sistine Chapel—greater than any in historical, religious, or artistic importance.

Here you will see Michelangelo's famous frescoes and later his work in Judgment Day as well as Creation of Man and scenes from Genesis; then continue on to view St.

Peter's Basilica—the largest church in the world featuring Central Altar and Baldacchino by Bernini—as well as Michelangelo's Pietà and Dome.

The tour will end at St.

Peter's Square for a small intimate group that does not exceed 10 people.
