Description

Make your trip to Rome complete by doing a guided tour of the Vatican museums, the Sistine Chapel, and Raphael's Rooms, with skip-the-line entry included. If you want a more intimate experience, upgrade your tour so your group is no bigger than 10 people. Begin your tour by meeting your guide close to the Vatican museums. Follow your guide inside and enjoy skip-the-line entry. Receive a headset to easily hear the commentary as you explore. Wander around the museums and allow your guide to bring the works of art to life. Next, grab a breath of fresh air at the Pinecone Courtyard and Belvedere Courtyard. Enjoy the Room of the Muses, the Round Room, the Greek Cross Room, Candelabra Gallery, the Gallery of the Tapestries, and the Gallery of Maps, and admire a panoramic view of the Vatican Gardens below.  Visit Raphael's Rooms, painted by the master around the time Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel. Spend time ceiling-gazing inside the Sistine Chapel. Leave the tour with a wealth of information. Want to visit St. Peter’s Basilica after the tour? Select one of our options that includes direct skip-the-line access from the Vatican Museums. Please note: Basilica access is not included in all tour options and is not guided.
