This exceptional tour of the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel lets you bypass the hours-long waiting lines to these attractions so that you can save time on your Roman holiday admiring the incredible art and architecture that is a hallmark of the Vatican experience. See the world-famous artistic treasures housed in these buildings as well as lesser-known but just as fascinating gems of the art world housed here.

Your professional English guide will be providing you informative commentary as he helps you navigate your way through the key parts of Vatican City, from the Pinecone Courtyard to the Hall of Maps, past the Gallery of Tapestries, and the Gallery of Candelabra until the incredible Raphael Rooms, the public part of the papal apartments. Listen to some fascinating stories about the provenance of the artwork that is held in these places as well as the history from the era in which they were commissioned, giving you insight and knowledge that is hard to gain on your own.

Unsurprisingly, one of the major highlights of this tour is when you arrive at the Sistine Chapel and, though tours are not allowed through the chapel, your guide would have already prepared you through the use of detailed photos as to what to expect once you enter the room. Allow yourself a while to pick out the details your guide would have told you about, like the portrait of Michelangelo’s boneless frame to in express that he would rather be skinned alive than paint the Sistine Chapel again, the fresco that is synonymous with his life's work but also the most arduous labor of love that he had encountered throughout his lifetime.

Well organised. Guide was excellent. Very tiring tour though - perhaps warn clients more clearly that this is a full-on, non-stop tour.

Meeting point: trappen tegenover de ingang was een beetje verwarrend. Met alle drukte stonden we even bij de verkeerde trappen te wachten (witte treden voor het vaticaanse museum. Bij navraag werden we verwezen naar het kantoor aan de overkant van de weg. Vervolgens werd hier aangegeven dat we aan de trappen aan de zijstraat moesten zijn. Hier nog even gewacht op de coordinatoren. Al met al wel goed gekomen. Echter bij onze eerste rondleiding St. Petrus Basilliek ging het helaas mis en hebben we de rondleiding helaas gemist.
