Your experience

"All of life is a stage" but what would happen if you peeked behind the curtain?

Experience the hidden gems of the Vatican as you follow your private guide deeper into the Holy See and into its beating heart. After exploring the breathtaking Vatican Museums, take a secret passage to the Niccoline Chapel, privately opened just for you. Marvel at the 15th-century frescoes that adorn the church and learn the secret symbolism lurking beneath the layers of oil paint.

Descend the iconic Bramante Staircase, which winds around the spine of the Vatican. Listen to your shoes tap against the stoic steps and imagine the countless others who have walked the same path.
