Classic sights included in our itinerary:

Enjoy a lifetime experience on our private tour of the Sistine Chapel. Marvel at Michelangelo’s breath-taking frescoes of the ceiling, appreciate the main nine scenes painted, discovering the stories of the Old Testament Prophets and Pagan Sibyls. Michelangelo considered himself first and foremost a sculptor and you will learn about how he lived, his faith and his troubles. With our private guide, walk through Raphael's rooms and feel free to ask all the questions you wish. You will also see the main works of the Vatican Museums and learn about how they influenced the great artists of the Renaissance. Skip the lines and arrive straight inside St. Peter’s Basilica, home to the history of Christianity, be spellbound by the extreme beauty of endless masterpieces, including Michelangelo’s Pietà. 

We take care of buying in advance Vatican tickets with reservations to skip the lines in order for you to spend your time only enjoying a great experience.

** Please note that the Raphael Rooms are part of this 3-hour itinerary but on days due to crowding, timing and direction flows of crowd traffic dictated by the Vatican Museum staff on the day, we may not be able to make this stop within the designated time frame. If the Raphael Rooms are an absolute must for you to see, we suggest you book one of our longer group tours: the Early Vatican Tour or the VIP Vatican Tour where the Raphael Rooms will be covered.**
