Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel Guided Tour

Join a small, close-knit group tour of the Vatican Museums in Rome as you enter Vatican City—it’s known to be the world’s smallest country and one of Christianity’s holiest places—avoiding ticket lines outside for a more enriching experience at this incredible site.

Discover the Pope’s vast art collection covering nearly 7 kilometers! Your guide will take you through some highlights like ancient sculptures in the Pio-Clementino Museum, cartographic frescoes in the Gallery of Maps, and beautiful Flemish wall hangings in the Gallery of Tapestries.

Continue your visit to the Sistine Chapel, a must-stop famed for its artistic splendor.

Marvel at the exceptional ceiling done by Italian artist Michelangelo, known all over the world for its artistic genius.

Stand in awe before the fresco of The Last Judgment that takes over the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel as well as The Creation of Adam seen on the ceiling; learn here why Michelangelo first hesitated to take such a fearsome task and how later his masterpiece came to be as a key work of the Renaissance.
