Rome: Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel Small Group Tour

Embark on an exclusive, semi private tour of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, Raphael Rooms, and historic Papal Apartments in Rome, enjoying priority access to all sites with a maximum of just 10 guests. Delight in the breathtaking masterpieces from the vast collection curated by the Catholic Church over centuries.

Your journey begins as you step into the Vatican Museums, a treasure trove of some of the Western world's most celebrated art. Wander through the awe-inspiring Gallery of the Maps, Gallery of the Tapestries, and Gallery of the Candelabra, and stand in the presence of iconic sculptures like the Belvedere Torso and Laocoön. Admire the architectural elegance of the Greek Cross Room, the artistic brilliance of the Raphael Rooms, the historic grandeur of the Old Papal Apartments, and so much more.

The highlight of your tour awaits in the Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo's genius shines through his monumental works. Gaze in wonder at the dramatic Last Judgment adorning the altar wall and the iconic Creation of Adam gracing the magnificent ceiling fresco, leaving an indelible mark on your memory.

After visiting the Sistine Chapel, we will take a tour guide passage out of the Chapel (when passage is open) to finish the tour directly in front of St. Peter's Basilica, where you will have an explanation of the Basilica from the outside. All guests are then free to enter the church afterwards if you chose, wait times may vary to enter the Basilica.

Discover the enduring wonders of the Eternal City, tracing her origins from the grandeur of classical antiquity, through the delicate artistry of the Renaissance, to the lavish baroque opulence of the Counter-Reformation.
