The tour offers a whole day of wandering about Rome before stepping foot inside the pontifical halls later in the evening.

A visit to the chapel would be utmost insightful as it would never be complete without some stories shared by your guide regarding its creation.

Peter's Dome before starting your journey through the long halls of the Vatican Museums.

After walking through the Museums, you will get to what many think of as the highlight of the tour: the stunning Sistine Chapel.

Learn about the stories behind creating Adam, see Michelangelo’s Last Judgment, and find out how this holy place is used when new popes are chosen.

After going through the Vatican Museums, the tour continues with a walk down the beautiful Scala Regia (Royal Staircase) that goes to St.
