Start your Vatican Museums tour at 6 PM that lasts 2 hours, with the Holy See as its patron since this collection of art is housed in papal palaces. A Vatican guide, well-versed in Church history, will tell you stories and show you amazing halls and galleries. Due to the limited size of our groups — we never take more than fifteen persons — you’ll have a lot of opportunities to ask any questions during your visit. The museum’s collection presents exquisite works of art ranging from the famous Raphael’s School of Athens to classical statues including Laocoön, among others that mirror different historical epochs.Afterward, you will finally get a chance to see the legendary Sistine Chapel. There, a professional guide will unveil some lesser-known history about how it came into being and later take you through Michelangelo’s frescoes painted on its ceiling and walls. This evening tour is an opportunity to experience the atmosphere that was familiar to the popes in ancient times and also acts as a respite from the bustling crowd during peak tourist hours.
