This Vatican Tour is a Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience

Beauty and history come together in this skip-the-line tour package. Let our knowledgeable tour coordinators guide you through this once-in-a-lifetime Vatican experience.

The Vatican City, the smallest country in the world and surely one of the most enchanting, with the highest concentration of art for sure.  The museums are one of the top world destinations, visitors from all over the world, when in Rome, must see the Vatican Museums.  Among the multiple options we have elaborated together with our team of guides an itinerary which is specifically designed for the first time visitor, not necessarily art historian or archaeologist, who wants to visit these incredible museums without feeling overwhelmed yet enjoying the visit and learning from it.

The tour lasts 3 hours, the guide begins with a detailed yet not overwhelming description of the Sistine Chapel usually with the aid of visual material (depending on the guide) as talking is not permitted inside the chapel.  The visit itself it spans through different portions of the papal collections: ancient roman and greek statuary, tapestries, maps.  The last portion of the museums is the Sistine chapel where you will have some time to enjoy its beauty and majesty prior to heading to St Peter’s Basilica.  This is the most iconic temple of the Catholic Church, built to be the house of God, sign and proof of its rightfulness, power and faith.  Every inch is a masterpiece, it holds incredible works such as Michelangelo’s Pietà and Bernini’s bronze canopy.

The Basilica is still an active church so opening hours and opportunity to visit are subject to religious needs.  May the church not be accessible on the day of your tour the guide will extend the visit inside the museums to include other incredible areas and incredible artworks which would not be included otherwise.

The Vatican requires modest clothing, no sharp objects (even large umbrellas) nor large backpacks will be admitted inside the museums.
