Your experience

At the meeting point, you will be introduced to your guide who will take you inside the Vatican Museums.

Enjoy priority access to skip the line for entry into the museum.

You will see the major highlights of the Vatican as you roam through the main galleries.

Go directly to the Sistine Chapel and take as much time as needed to explore.

Inside the Chapel, treasures will be found that symbolize some of art's highest accomplishments on a world scale.

Millions of tourists come every year to Rome to see with their own eyes the frescoes done by great masters, mainly Michelangelo's Last Judgment.

The guide will tell curious anecdotes about processes and commissions for these works.

Before Michelangelo, God was not shown with a human face; rather, He was just a hand pointing down from the sky.

Through these paintings, the Sistine Chapel represents the peak of the Italian Renaissance and thus a trademark of global art.

On the ceiling of the Chapel, Michelangelo painted a series of frescoes telling the Stories of Genesis—Creation of Adam being probably the most famous one among them.
