Activity itinerary

Vatican Museums
  • 2h

Begin your journey by meeting your expert Tour Guide, who will provide skip-the-line admission tickets and headsets for clear communication. As you step into the Vatican Museums, immerse yourself in the rich history and artistic treasures within.

Sistine Chapel
  • 20m

The tour continues with a visit to the Sistine Chapel, one of the most celebrated landmarks in the world. Before entering this sacred space, your guide will explain the fascinating history behind Michelangelo’s iconic frescoes, including the breathtaking Creation of Adam and the powerful Last Judgement. Learn about the artistic challenges Michelangelo faced and the enduring significance of his work. Please note that as the chapel is a holy place, explanations are given outside to maintain the quiet and reverence required inside. Witness first-hand why millions are drawn here every year.
St. Peter's Basilica
  • 40m
Your experience culminates at St. Peter’s Basilica, a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture. From the Sistine Chapel, your guide will lead you through a reserved fast-track entrance to the church, avoiding the usual long lines. Inside, marvel at Michelangelo’s exquisite Pietà, Bernini’s grand Baldacchino, and the awe-inspiring dome. Depending on your chosen option, enjoy a guided exploration of the basilica’s treasures or receive a fast-track pass for independent discovery. Spend as much time as you wish inside, visit the Papal Tombs, or ascend to the dome for panoramic views of Rome. Should the basilica be closed, your tour will include an extended exploration of the Vatican Museums instead.
