Take a guided tour of the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel and gaze at Michelangelo's vibrant murals of biblical heavens.
-
Let your guide take you through the Catacomb's eerie tunnels with skulls and bones of the buried, peeking through the walls, created by Roman Christians 2000 years ago.
-
Step into Hadrian's Mausoleum and be greeted by the cylindrical building topped by a golden quadriga that later turned into a prison.
-
Wander through the Castel Gandolfo where colorful houses hug the shores of the serene Lake Albano and the papal palace stands as a historic centerpiece.
-
Fun fact: Some catacombs were used as secret meeting places during times of religious persecution, to hide from the Roman authorities!

GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5The booking process was very easy and we found our tour guide fairly easy. The tour guide was very knowledgable and we got to see most of the museums and ended at Sistine Chapel. Definitely recommend booking a tour as the queues to just turn up are very long and you could be waiting up to 3 hours to get inside.RReynaldo C
CoupleVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Our tour guide, Barbara was the best. Vatican museum is amazing as it is, but Barbara made the difference between just seeing the paintings and experiencing the arts. She is very knowledgeable about Vatican and the Arts. She explain everything in detail. What an amazing tour guide. Thank youJJosé T
CoupleVerified booking2 weeks ago5/5We visited the Vatican Museums, and the guide pleasantly surprised us. Her explanation of the Sistine Chapel was great, and once inside, the sense of calm I felt was impressive. Thank you to the guide for sharing such a tremendous passion for the history of the museum.CCristiano C

Get more for less with the super-saver combo of the Vatican Museums, Catacombs, Castel Sant'Angelo, and the Apolistic Palace at Castel Gandolfo with this ticket.
Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel
Start your journey of the Vatican Jubilee with a guided tour of the Vatican Museum. Be greeted by the marbled floors of the Museum's most important collections that house Roman and Greek sculptures like the Apollo of the Belvedere. Head on to Michelangelo's painted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel with frescoes adorned by biblical figures. Feel the grandeur of the halls as the enrobed God-like figures look down from the ceilings.
Roman Catacombs
Move on to the eerie 2000-year-old maze of catacombs built 2000 years ago. These underground burials were created to bury the dead in ancient Rome with the lack of burials on the ground. Let your guide narrate the history of the biblical scriptures on the carved catacomb walls, with skulls and bones peeking through them.
Castel Sant'Angelo
Explore the encased Hadrian's Tomb, once a tomb, and a prison -- now a museum. The imposing structure is divided across five floors connected by a spiral ramp, that leads you to the hallowed chamber of ashes, and the grey prison cells in that held incarcerated historical figures. Move towards the upper part of the castle to see gold and bronze decorated rooms once the Papal residence, and take in the gleaming collection of ancient Roman weapons.
Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo & Pontifical Villas Gardens
Explore the Pope's summer residence on the edge of Lake Albano -- the Apostolic Palace. This scenic spot overlooks the shimmering lake, with floral and green gardens built on the site of the ancient villas. Wander the palace and admire the Baroque-style ochre-colored houses coupled with those topped with pointed arches reminiscent of Medieval style. Head on to the Papal Villas of Apolistic Palace and admire the halls decked with tapestries depicting scenes from the Bible, as the portraits of past popes adorn the walls, their faces gazing down with a sense of wisdom and authority.
