Description

Make your trip to Rome complete with a guided tour of the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and Raphael's Rooms, all with skip-the-line entry included. For a more intimate experience, you can upgrade your tour to a small group with no more than 10 people. Begin your tour by meeting your guide near the Vatican Museums. Follow your guide inside and skip the general entry lines. You'll receive a headset to clearly hear the commentary as you explore. Wander through the museums as your guide brings the masterpieces to life. Step out into the fresh air at the Pinecone Courtyard and Belvedere Courtyard. Then admire the Room of the Muses, the Round Room, the Greek Cross Room, the Gallery of the Candelabra, the Gallery of the Tapestries, and the Gallery of Maps, with views of the Vatican Gardens below. Visit Raphael's Rooms, painted by the master himself around the same time Michelangelo was working on the Sistine Chapel. Then, take in the awe-inspiring ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, a highlight of your visit. Leave the tour with deeper insight into the Vatican's artistic treasures.
