Description
Experience the Vatican’s Masterpieces with Ease and Expertise
Exploring the Vatican’s vast collections can feel overwhelming, but with an expert art historian guide by your side, you’ll experience the highlights seamlessly and stress-free. Begin your journey with skip-the-line access to the Vatican Museums, where centuries of art and history come alive. Wander through the Gallery of the Maps, a stunning display of hand-painted geography from 500 years ago, and marvel at the intricate tapestries and ancient statues in the Gallery of the Tapestries and the Gallery of the Candelabra.
The tour reaches its pinnacle in the Sistine Chapel, where you’ll stand beneath Michelangelo’s breathtaking frescoes, including the iconic Creation of Adam and The Last Judgment. Seeing these masterpieces in person is an experience unlike any other.
For those who choose to add the optional Basilica entry, you’ll enjoy direct access from the Sistine Chapel into St. Peter’s Basilica. Inside, you’ll have ample time to explore its wonders at your own pace, including Michelangelo’s moving Pietà, Bernini’s spectacular bronze Baldachin, and the breathtaking architecture of one of the world’s most iconic churches. The tour concludes outside the Basilica, leaving you free to wander St. Peter’s Square or discover nearby attractions at your leisure.
