The four interconnected rooms at the Apostolic Palace that contain works of the famous renaissance artist Raphael are known as the Raphael Rooms. Take some time to admire Raphael’s frescoes and prepare yourself for the main attraction of your tour.

Stop At: Sistine Chapel, Viale Vaticano, 00165 Vatican City Italy

The most popular attraction of the Vatican Museums is famous for its unrivaled ceiling frescoes. The series of fresco paintings include one of the most iconic paintings in the world “The Creation of Adam”, which was painted by the peerless Michelangelo. Witness in awe as the ceiling reveals all of its blissful symmetry to you under the bright lights that get obscured in the daytime tours.

After signing up and paying for this tour in April 2023 we were informed the day before the tour scheduled for October 27th that the tour was no longer available. La Vacanza Travel, you dropped the ball on this one.

We did not get to do the night tour but we did do the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel Tour with Daniale on Christmas Eve and he was amazing! He was so knowledgeable, above and beyond! My husband and I asked lots of questions and he had so much great interesting information. Far beyond exceeded my expectation, was kind and didnt mind if we took our time or requested to speed up or slow down.
