Exclusive guided tour

An exclusive guided tour (in English and Spanish) of Vatican's iconic attractions.

The Vatican Museums

Gather in cosy groups of 11 members or less and follow your tour guide through a special entrance into the Vatican Museums, the first stop on your itinerary

Traverse through the Galleries of Tapestries, Maps, and Muses, the awe-inspiring Raphael’s Room, and other galleries while learning interesting facts about each.

The Sistine Chapel

Make an appearance at the world-famous Sistine Chapel where you will spend time admiring the finer details of Michelangelo’s stunning murals.

Finally, head out to St. Peter’s Basilica, the world’s largest church for a blast of art, culture, and architectural brilliance and admire striking mosaics and Michelangelo’s Pieta.

Ceiling

Unarguably one the most famous artworks in world, the Sistine Chapel ceiling stands 70 feet above ground level. Painted by Michelangelo Buonarroti between 1508 and 1512, the vault is an incredible feat of determination, will and artistic ability. As the artist was unfamiliar with the techniques of frescoing, learn how he was forced to hire, then fire, a team of Florentine painters, before eventually going at it alone. Dealing with all kinds of complications, from issues with perspective, to problems with mold and the Pope’s unwavering impatience, he endured it all to create what many consider the crowning work of his career.

St Peter’s Basilica

On Wednesdays, your tour to St. Peter’s Basilica will be replaced with the Vatican Library due to the weekly Papal audience gathering.

Compulsory Vatican dress code - visitors must cover knees, arms and back.
