Overview

Meet your guide at least 15 minutes prior to your departure time at Piazza della Città Leonina, in front of the Bar Leonina.

Join us on this exceptional journey in a semi-private group and enter the astoundingly beautiful Vatican City, home to some of the most famous collections of art and architecture in the world.

Be led by your professional guide, who will bring to life the fantastic art, history, and architecture housed within the walls of this beautiful city's 7 km of galleries, chapels, and rooms.

On your tour, you will not worry about the tickets and join us on an emotional experience through the incredible collections of the Vatican Museums, and then move on to the Sistine Chapel and see the Michelangelo-painted ceiling described in detail by your professional tour guide in a small, semi-private experience.

After this, you can go to St. Peter's Basilica to explore it at your own leisure.

Sistine Chapel

The Sistine Chapel has drawn admirers from around the world for over five hundred years, ever since the completion of Michelangelo’s great Sistine Chapel ceiling. The magnificent frescoes that makeup Michelangelo’s famous ceiling include The Creation of Adam, an iconic depiction of a Biblical scene; only Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa matches its artistic significance. To be admired in silence, the Sistine Chapel provokes awe among its visitors with breath-taking art and architecture in all directions. In order to prepare you for the grandeur of the Chapel’s interior, our guides will offer a helpful history of the art inside and provide orientation to better direct your exploration.
