Description

In this exclusive tour at the Vatican museums, you will enjoy a complimentary pick-up/drop off service from Civitavecchia Port with one of our professional English-speaking drivers.You will be taken to the usually packed museum entrance, where you will meet the tour guide, and with your "skip the line" entry tickets, you will skip the huge entry line and access directly the metal detector security check.
The tour will begin in a gorgeous panoramic terrace that offers a stunning view of St. Peter's dome overlooking the Vatican gardens; the perfect spot to take a great picture! The guide will then walk you through all the highlights of the museums which include masterpieces and artifacts from different cultures and civilizations. You will enter the Pio Clementine museum, famous for its unique Greek/Roman ancient statues such as the Laocoon group, you will gasp at the length of the enormous Tapestry Hall, then through the Hall of the Painted Maps, you will enter the Sistine Chapel whose impact in history, religion and visual arts has no equal in the world. All of this in a small and intimate group of maximum 10 people since we don't want our clients to feel uncomfortable in big groups.

During the Jubilee Year, the access from the Sistine Chapel to St. Peter's Basilica is closed. To visit the Basilica, you will need to return to the entrance and follow the Vatican Walls along Viale Vaticano, Via Leone IV, Piazza Risorgimento, Via di Porta Angelica, and Piazza San Pietro.
From there, you can expect a queue of about 10 minutes. With your ID in hand, you will be able to enter and visit the Basilica on your own. The distance is approximately 1 km and takes about 20 minutes to walk. At the end you have few time to stay in Piazza San Pietro and come back to Civitavecchia
