Your experience

Travel with ease through the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel by joining a small group on an 8-person maximum tour with a guide who will skip the line.

You will first enjoy a guided tour of the Vatican Museums and see works including those of the Pio Clementino Museum, Raphael’s Rooms, and Gallery of Tapestries.

Your guide will ensure you enjoy your visit to the Sistine Chapel in case it’s not too crowded that day.

Be introduced to the ceiling frescoes, among them Michelangelo's The Last Judgment, to gain appreciation of what exemplary artistic talent is.

He/she leads you on to St.

Peter’s Square for some enlightening information on that central spot in Vatican City and outside the basilica where you are free to choose whether to enter alone or join other members of the group before traveling back to the hotel.
