Tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel

Vatican and Sistine Chapel Guided Tour 

A tour that highlights the most interesting aspects of the famous museums of the Vatican City, which contain one of the largest and most spectacular art collections in the world, including the collections of ancient Roman and Greek statues of the Renaissance Popes, the Belvedere Courtyard, the Room of the Muses, the circular room with Hercules, the Greek cross room with the sarcophagus of Constantine, the Gallery of Maps overlooking the Vatican Gardens, the Raphael Room and – at the end of the tour – Michelangelo’s Last Judgement, a breathtaking masterpiece in the Sistine Chapel.

You will travel through the history and secrets of the Catholic Church and hear stories of rivalries between Renaissance artists. Continuing our Vatican and Sistine Chapel Guided Tour through St. Peter’s Basilica, you’ll marvel at the masterpieces of Baroque genius Bernini (his baldachin is the largest bronze object in the world) and Michelangelo’s Pietà, a statue that is beyond awe-inspiring.

As you move through the Basilica, through dimly lit tunnels, our guides will point out the Vatican Grottoes, the resting place of many popes.

You’ll also have the opportunity to stop at the tomb of Pope John Paul II.
