Your experience

Start a remarkable self-guided discovery of the Vatican Gardens with a relaxed ride on a minibus accompanied by an informative audio guide.

As you travel through the green gardens, you will be captivated by quiet surroundings, detailed fountains, and well-kept grounds while learning about the past and value of this peaceful place inside the heart of the Vatican.

Rare plants, beautiful statues, and private spots are in the gardens giving a very different view of the green lands of the Vatican.

After your quiet walk in the garden go to the Vatican Museums where you can see at your own pace one of the most amazing art collections in the world.

As you move through its large rooms you will find great works made by famous artists like Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, and Caravaggio.

The museums hold great works, from old statues to Renaissance art.

Each piece shares a story of human skill and history.

In the end, let the stunning beauty of the Sistine Chapel take over you as the well-known frescoes by Michelangelo, like the 'Creation of Adam,' come to life right in front of you.

This tour allows the visitor to see at his own pace, her own time, the extraordinary treasures housed within the Vatican—which is an experience so deep in culture that it embraces history, art, and spirituality.
