Description

The Vatican is massive, and let's be honest, exploring it alone can feel overwhelming. That's exactly why our expert guide is here, ensuring you won't miss a thing by taking you straight to the highlights. Kick off your adventure with exclusive skip-the-line access at the incredible Vatican Museums, a treasure trove filled with centuries of art, history, and jaw-dropping ceilings. Together, you'll stroll through: Gallery of Maps: Think Google Maps, but hand-painted and 500 years old! Gallery of Tapestries: Gigantic, intricately woven masterpieces that tell amazing stories. Rotunda Room: Ancient statues beneath a stunning domed ceiling that rivals Rome's greatest architectural gems. Next up, step into the breathtaking Sistine Chapel. Sure, you’ve seen pictures, but nothing compares to standing beneath Michelangelo’s iconic frescoes. Look up at 'The Creation of Adam' and 'The Last Judgment,' picturing Michelangelo tirelessly painting every incredible detail. If you've chosen the full experience, continue into the majestic St. Peter's Basilica, home to Michelangelo’s emotional Pietà and Bernini's spectacular bronze Baldachin. Your journey concludes outside the Basilica, giving you plenty of time to explore St. Peter’s Square or discover nearby Castel Sant’Angelo at your leisure.

Important Information

During periods of Sede Vacante, the Sistine Chapel will be closed to the public without prior notice due to the Papal Conclave (election of a new Pope). As this is a decision made by the Vatican, access to the Sistine Chapel is not guaranteed during these times. No refunds or discounts will be issued in the event of such closures. St. Peter's Basilica is closed on Wednesday mornings (8 AM–12 PM), December 24, and December 31. Skip-the-line entry to the Basilica may be restricted without prior notice due to religious ceremonies or crowd control during Jubilee Year masses. For tours including St. Peter’s Basilica starting at 3:00 PM or later, Basilica visits are self-guided. Entry to the Vatican Museums is strictly timed; late arrivals cannot be guaranteed access. A valid photo ID is required for security checks upon arrival. A dress code is strictly enforced: shoulders and knees must be covered. Sleeveless tops, low-cut garments, shorts above the knee, and miniskirts are not permitted.
