Highlights
- Vatican Museums - Our tour starts off at the Vatican Museums, where more than four millennia’s rich history is stored. Worried about getting lost in the labyrinth of corridors and galleries? Don’t be. Gain real-world insight into the stunning wonders of the museum’s 1000+ rooms thanks to the help of your friendly, expert guide. They’re excited to answer as many questions that you could possibly come up with, so feel free to ask away.
- Sistine Chapel - Afterwards, we’ll head over to the Pope’s private place of prayer, the Sistine Chapel. Home to two of Michelangelo’s masterpieces, The Last Judgement and the famous frescoed ceiling, the Sistine Chapel is just as awe-inspiring today as when it was unveiled in the 1500s. Marvel at the world famous frescoes and discover how Popes are elected here within the stunning walls of the Sistine Chapel.

Here’s what you can expect:
✩ Skip-the-line priority entrance tickets
✩ An expert, licensed guide who is fluent in their field
✩ A tour that hones in on the highlights of the Vatican’s vast collection
✩ The secrets and stories behind the Vatican and its collection

A must see in Rome!! - This was one of the best tours that we have taken! The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and very professional, friendly and helpful. The Sistine Chapel and the Museums are not to be missed when you visit Rome. The Vatican has done an amazing job of creating and displaying these treasures to about 24,000 people a day so it will be crowded, but our guide got us through it in our wheelchairs. We very highly recommend this tour!!

Passionate guide with excellent English - We had a fantastic time visiting museums and Sistine chapel. Our guide's English was excellent and he was passionate and very keen to answer our questions. We had very detailed and informative introduction before entering the chapel so we knew exactly what we're looking at. At the end of the tour we also had a brief but very interesting introduction to basilica and st Peter Square so we could continue our trip of Vatican on our own

Best guide! - I did the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel tour with Giovanni. He was the best guide!! - very knowledgeable, great storytelling, from Italy and we could definitely feel his interest and love of the place come through during the tour. It was such a small group which made everything much more personal. Looking forward to doing another tour with them the next time I’m in Rome!!
