Stop At: Vatican Museums, Viale Vaticano, 00120 Vatican City Italy

As the evening begins, you’ll be greeted by your tour guide and escorted into the grand halls of the Vatican Museums. The first stop on your tour is the Gallery of Maps, where you’ll be mesmerized by the detailed frescoes depicting Italy and its regions as they were known in the 16th century.

Next, you’ll make your way to the Raphael Rooms, where you’ll be transported back in time to the golden age of the Renaissance. These rooms, once used by Pope Julius II as his private quarters, are adorned with frescoes by Raphael and his workshop, depicting scenes from the Bible and classical mythology.

Duration: 2 hours

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

The highlight of the tour is of course the Sistine Chapel, where you’ll have the chance to witness Michelangelo’s masterpiece “The Creation of Adam” in all its glory. Our tour guide will give you an in-depth explanation of the history and meaning behind this iconic fresco, as well as other works of art in the chapel.

Lastly, the tour guide will escort you to the famous Vatican Gift Shop where you can buy souvenirs and memorabilia from your visit.

The tour was amazing and thank you the tour Guide Leonardo, very experienced. We had exceptional tour! It is impossible to completely explore the museum without a helpful tour guide who knows everything about it. We were fortunate to have someone like Leonardo who was so knowledgeable.

Doing this tour will get you into the Vatican museum, the Sistine chapel and entry into the basilica without waiting in an hours long line. It’s very crowded and I feel like I was rushed through.

The tour guide was really kind and understanding. It was hard for us to find the place of the meeting and we almost missed the whole visit, but he called us and helped us. We really appreciated that.

A day before the tour we received a message saying our tour was delayed by 2 hours. When we arrived at the office La Vacanza Travel Tour had indicated, we were walked over to another tour company office, where we waited on the street for 45 minutes (in the hot Roman sun) for the tour to begin. I saw on a brochure in the second office that this tour was considerably CHEAPER than the one we paid for. We were offered no explanations or a refund. The La Vacanza Travel tour that we had booked said “2 hours and 45 minutes” and “comprehensive tour of Vatican City and St. Peter’s”. The actual tour we were on lasted under an hour. The guide almost jogged through the museum. Her favourite line was, “I’ll give you a FEW SECONDS TO LOOK AROUND”. And, she meant seconds. After exactly one hour, she left us halfway through the museum and said we can go to the Sistine Chapel somewhere down that hallway. There was no tour of the St. Peter’s at all. We think our more expensive La Vacanza Travel tour was sold to another company, and we were left with an amazingly bad afternoon.

Very interesting, a lot to see. You need a lot of time, as the museum is huge and filled with history. You can also rent smart audioguides in different languages, with manual controls.
