Tour itinerary

Step into the heart of the Catholic world, where centuries of history meet some of the greatest masterpieces ever created. Led by expert guides with a strong background in art and religion, this tour takes you through the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel, revealing the stories, symbols, and spiritual meaning behind their most iconic works.

You’ll explore highlights like the Gallery of Tapestries, the Gallery of Maps, and the sculpture-filled halls, gaining deeper insight into the treasures that have shaped the Vatican’s identity as a “second Jerusalem.” Then, inside the Sistine Chapel, you’ll stand beneath Michelangelo’s extraordinary ceiling and the powerful Last Judgment, in the very space where the conclave gathers to elect a new Pope.

To make the experience even smoother, the tour ends with a key logistical advantage: you’ll skip the long public exit route and access St. Peter’s Basilica via the Scala Regia, a preferential passage leading directly into the Basilica. From there, your skip-the-line ticket allows you to explore independently and at your own pace, from Michelangelo’s Pietà to the Basilica’s monumental architecture, finishing your visit in total freedom.
