About this activity
Your tour begins in the morning or afternoon at the corner of Viale Giulio Cesare and Via Leone IV, then off to the Vatican Museums, offering 2000 rooms filled with the most extensive art collection in the world.

The magnificent museum complex offers galleries, showcases, paintings, sculptures, frescoes, tapestries and classical antiquities of Roman, Greek and Egyptian origin. By choosing a guided tour you will go through detailed and interesting historical facts narrated by a professional guide, with a degree in art history or in archeology.

Visit the Raphael's Rooms, Pine Courtyard, Pio Clementine Museum, Gallery of the Maps, Gallery of Tapestries and Gallery of the Candelabra. Step inside the Sistine Chapel to see Michelangelo’s stunning frescos ‘The Creation of Adam’, considered one of the greatest masterpieces of Western art, and ‘The Last Judgment’.

Take the advantage and get into St. Peter’s Basilica by the exclusive access door from the Sistine Chapel. Here you can admire the famous ‘La Pietà’ sculpture made by Michelangelo when he was just 24 years old, 'Baldachino' by Bernini and many more. Your guide will introduce you to the intriguing stories of probably the largest church in Christendom. The tour will conclude at St. Peter's Square.
