Description

Skip the long lines and discover the Vatican’s artistic wonders with a professional guide. Walk straight past the crowds and into the Vatican Museums, home to one of the world’s greatest art collections. From ancient Roman sculptures to Renaissance masterpieces, your guide will lead you through the highlights of this vast cultural treasure trove.

Witness the magnificent Gallery of Maps, the intricate tapestries in the Gallery of Tapestries, and countless works by artistic giants such as Raphael, Caravaggio, and Leonardo da Vinci. Your guide will offer insight, context, and stories that bring the art and history of the Vatican to life.

The climax of the tour is the breathtaking Sistine Chapel, where you’ll admire Michelangelo’s legendary frescoes — The Creation of Adam and The Last Judgment. Your guide will prepare you with an explanation before entry, as silence is required inside the chapel.
