Your experience
See the beauty of the Vatican on a tour that takes you through its museums, then to the Sistine Chapel, and finally at St.
Peter's Basilica.
Beat the crowd with quick entry to all places and learn about their history, art, and religious value from your guide.
Begin at the halls of the Vatican Museums where great masterpieces by Raphael, Perugino, Botticelli, and Pinturicchio—among many others—are housed.
Take some time to marvel at Michelangelo’s beautiful frescoes.
‘The Last Judgment’ and ‘The Creation of Adam.’ Take time and relax in both courtyards, the Pinecone and the Octagonal before getting yourself into the Vatican galleries, which start from the Gallery of the Candelabra, continue in the Gallery of Tapestries, and finally end up in the Gallery of Maps.
Your next stop will be St.
Peter's Basilica.
Relish an easy way straight into this holy place right from within the Sistine Chapel where you will learn about Saint Peter's tomb Bernini's Baldachin as well as Michelangelo's ‘Pietà’ with more hidden gems that your guide will reveal to you.
About to leave a church wherein Michelangelo has created possibly his most famous sculpture you are welcomed by lovely statues of Apostles Saints and Martyrs on the facade complemented by Bernini's awesome colonnade.
