The Vatican Museum guided tour covers the highlights from one of the most important collections of art in the world with more than 1,200 rooms. The Vatican Museums is an immense collection of art that was built up over centuries by the Roman Catholic Church. The Vatican Museums collection includes some of the most renowned classical sculptures and most important masterpieces of Renaissance art in the world. Pope Julius II founded the museums about 500 years ago in the early 16th century.
The Vatican Museum guided tour includes the Rooms of Raphael, the Sistine Chapel, and Ancient Roman and Greek pieces in the Belvedere Courtyard. As the Sistine Chapel is located at the far end of over 1200 galleries, we have outlined the shortest possible path to get you there quickly and without hassles or unnecessary waiting, while still covering the most important masterpieces along the way. Our english-speaking certified Vatican tour guides provide a full background on the Sistine Chapel from before it was commissioned to the finishing touches while distinguishing between truth and popular legends promulgated by Hollywood and popular books.
After leaving the Sistine Chapel, you will have direct access to St. Peter’s Basilica, which is allowed only to official guided tours. All other visitors must exit the Vatican Museum, take the long route to St. Peters, and wait in another line up to get inside St. Peter’s Basilica.
Guided visit inside St. Peter’s will be provided on a space available basis. The additional cost for a guided tour inside St. Peter’s Basilica is 10 Euro per person. Those who wish to tour on their own will be given an overview of the church and will be allowed to tour inside St. Peter’s Basilica for as long as they like before leaving the Vatican.
