Your experience

Highlights

  • Explore the Vatican Museums with a guide well-versed in the art world to guarantee that you see Michelangelo's frescoes close up at the Sistine Chapel.

Full description

Explore the Vatican Museums under the guidance of an expert by taking a two-hour walking tour that will lead you through all the masterpieces. Discover the awe-inspiring Sistine Chapel— where you can feast your eyes on Michelangelo’s frescoes. The idea is to focus only on the most important works from the vast collection so as not to leave feeling overwhelmed. At the end of this tour you will have enough time to stop and enjoy more of the Sistine Chapel and in case it interests you, take advantage of being part of those allowed for last entry during that day whereby you shall be guided straight from outside through the general queue for security check. This experience is conducted in English with a detailed explanation given about what makes the Sistine Chapel such an extraordinary place before stepping inside; reserve your spot as one among those comprising the final group entering later into evening hours thereby ensuring direct access not just into Vatican Museums but also Sistine Chapel.
