Your experience

The Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel are opened to you in a guided tour that mingles artistic excellence with spiritual greatness.

Begin your journey within the Vatican Museums, an extraordinarily complex gathering of masterworks.

Walk through lavishly appointed corridors and galleries of one of the most famous cultural landmarks in the world to see invaluable artworks from papal collections.

Raphael's Rooms will enchant you, their frescoes so full of life that they seem ready to step down from the wall; then stroll through the Gallery of Maps where each elaborate map shows what the world looked like during Renaissance times—all this while a private scholar-guide reveals for you some of the hidden history of the Vatican Museums! But even this will not compare with what is yet to come—the apex of your experience in Michelangelo's immortal masterpiece: The Sistine Chapel.

Stand below the great stretch of his famous ceiling, showing the legendary "Creation of Adam" and the "Last Judgment." With the official guide of the Vatican Museum, you do not just go; you set out on a deep journey into the heart of art, culture, and divinity.
