Your experience

Privileged access to the main attractions of Vatican City, and in particular the Vatican Gardens by minibus.

Then, proceed to the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St.

Peter's Basilica.

Begin this extraordinary experience with a skip-the-line ticket for the Vatican Gardens where you will have enough time to stroll through its lush landscapes, serene fountains, and intriguing history.

A multilingual audio guide enhances your visit by explaining the hidden treasures of the gardens and their significance to Vatican cultural heritage as you walk through this peaceful retreat.

After that continue at your own pace to visit the renowned Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel.

The exhibits hold an immense collection of masterpieces among them: Raphael Rooms; Belvedere Torso; Leonardo Da Vinci’ St.; Jerome in Wilderness; Round Room.

No one can say they have been to Rome unless they witnessed the breathtaking frescoes of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel, above all, the Creation of Adam.

Finish with an engaging audio experience at St.

Peter's Basilica, one of the largest and most beautiful churches in the world.

Go up for stunning panoramic views of Rome and St.

Peter's Square; then enter the basilica to see gilded ceilings and elaborate mosaics where masterpieces by Bernini and Michelangelo are on display.

Do not miss out on the wonderful Pieta or Baldacchino by Bernini — both stand as superb examples of Renaissance art.

A rich history embodies this sacred site where art, faith, and history meet; while there is no skip-the-line entry to St.

Peter's Basilica, your visit will be just as enriching and awe-inspiring.
