Your experience

Begin a soft, led walk into one of the most honored sets in the world-the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel.

At Viale Giulio Cesare 229 right before the movie house and near the Ottaviano Metro you will see your Pointours host-marked by our blue flag.

We take care of all needed tasks making sure for a calm and neat time as we lead you to the door letting you focus on the art, beauty, and peace that waits for you inside.

Inside, wander at your own pace.

Take some time to look at Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel and other works of art like the Raphael Rooms.

Do you want background information as you go along? At check-in, you may download our multi-language audio-guide app by simple QR setup.

This is not going to overwhelm you but will enhance your visit.

Whether a couple, a family, or just someone on a short cruise stop hosted experience is the easiest and most flexible time to enjoy inside Vatican City without the hassle of an outside long group tour.

Choose comfort.

Choose care.

Choose the Pointours Promise.

Access follows the usual security measures of the Vatican so short delays can still happen when there is a big crowd.
