Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel & Basilica Tour

It’s true.

The Vatican is a pretty big site, and it can be pretty intimidating trying to get around it all on your own.

That’s just why our super helpful guide is there, making sure you don’t miss any must-see’s by showing you just to the highlights.

Kick things off with exclusive, skip-the-line access to the incredible Vatican Museums – an ultra-rich depository of art, history, and centuries worth of just mind-blowing ceilings.

Together you’ll wander through: - Map Gallery: Imagine Google Maps, but in painted form and five centuries old! - Tapestry Gallery: Gigantic, highly detailed works of art that tell amazing stories.

- Rotunda Room: Sculptures from antiquity below a great dome, rivalling in itself the best of Rome's architectural masterpieces.

After this, step into the magnificent Sistine Chapel.

Of course, you have probably seen pictures but nothing really prepares you for standing underneath Michelangelo’s famous frescoes.

Look up at ‘The Creation of Adam’ and ‘The Last Judgment’ and try to imagine how hard Michelangelo was working to try and get every fantastic detail.

If you’ve chosen the full experience, continue into the grand St.

Peter’s Basilica, home to Michelangelo’s moving Pietà and Bernini’s great bronze Baldachin.

Your tour ends outside the Basilica so that you have plenty of time to explore St.

Peter’s Square or head over to the Castel Sant’Angelo on your own.
