Benefit from reserved access to some of the Vatican's top attractions with a guided tour of Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel.

Discover the beautiful Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, and feast your eyes on the artworks of great masters such as Michelangelo and Raphael. Explore the Pio Clementine Museum, Belvedere Courtyard, and much more.

Begin your tour by heading to the Vatican Museums and be guided to discover the works of art in the Cortile della Pigna, the Hall of Maps, the Tapestry Gallery, and the Candelabra Gallery. During the tour, learn about the lives of the artists responsible for these works of art and their intriguing history.

Later, be taken to admire the magnificent Sistine Chapel. Here, take all the time necessary to learn about things you've always heard about - such as Michelangelo's self-portrait. It was a backbreaking feat of willpower – a fact you will understand after learning what it takes to create a fresco.

The continued change of times ruined the day and plans making a rushed and curt experience with stuff unhelpful and just kept referring us to the flipping app! Very very poor customer service with no explanations for the continued change of plans which ruined the reason we went for the trip making it rushed and unhinged which is what we didn’t want. A reliable service going horrible wrong with no respect form staff and some Of the other customers for an alternative religion !!! Thanks Tui NOt

Vår guide var mycket påläst och hade mycket positiv energi med glimten i ögat. Helt underbar plats om man är intresserad av historia, skulpturer, konst och antika miljöer. Det brukar vara mycket folk och varmt men vi hade tur att det inte var alltför trångt när vi gick genom alla rum. Kan varmt rekommendera denna upplevelse. Vi fick som bonus förtur till Basilica och slapp alla köer.

De gids Valentina is top: ze is vriendelijk, grappig, efficiënt en beschikt over een grote kennis. Ze vertelt interessante details zonder te overdrijven. We hadden ´´s morgens in de rij aangeschoven om de Sint-Pietersbasiliek te bezoeken, maar na de rondleiding in de Vaticaans musea kan je de basiliek gewoon binnen lopen. Het zou nuttig zijn dit vooraf te vermelden bij de reservatie van de activiteit.

Deutschsprachige Führung gebucht. Guide sprach sehr gut Deutsch und machte eine interessanten Rundgang durch den Vatikan.

Wir hatten die Führung in einer kleinen Gruppe, das war sehr angenehm. Veronika, die Führerin sprach sehr gut deutsch. Es war sehr interessant und sie hat kompetent auf Fragen geantwortet.

guida bravissima, una delle migliori che abbia mia incontrato
