Your experience

Upon reaching the meeting point, your guide will take you inside the Vatican Museums using skip-the-line tickets.

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

Walk straight into the Sistine Chapel and get to know what treasures it houses—viewing works generally considered to be among the Ultimates in world artistic achievement.

Millions come to Rome every year to see these frescoes, including such famous works as Michelangelo's Last Judgment; intriguing stories about the process of making them and about the commissions are made known by your guide.

For example, one little detail that is not commonly known is that before Michelangelo put a face on God, he had usually depicted just a hand coming down from above pointing at something.

Through these remarkable frescoes, the Sistine Chapel features as a major representation of the Italian Renaissance, and indeed, a masterpiece known all over the world.

On the ceiling of the Chapel, Michelangelo executed a series of frescoes telling the Stories of Genesis; among them, Creation of Adam is best known and celebrated.
