Your experience

Once at the meeting point, your guide will come to you and take you inside the Vatican Museums.

You will enjoy skip-the-line access.

As you wander through the main galleries, notable highlights of the Vatican will be pointed out to you.

Go directly to the Sistine Chapel; there your guide will tell fascinating stories about the artistic creation and commissioning of works.

The frescoes in the Sistine Chapel are considered the crowning achievement of not only the Italian Renaissance but also Art in relation to worlds everywhere.

On this chapel's ceiling, Michelangelo painted a series of frescoes telling Stories of Genesis; most famous among them is The Creation of Adam! (PLEASE NOTE THAT ACCESS TO THE BASILICA IS NOT ALWAYS ASSURED).
