Your 3-hour Vatican adventure begins when you meet your guide and the other members. Skip-the-line admission will ensure that you enter the Museums without delay, and before the doors open to the general public.

On this semi-private tour you’ll see the highlights of the Vatican Museums with your expert guide. Marvel at the spectacular works of art, including those housed in the Tapestry Gallery, Map Gallery, and several rooms dedicated to the works of the great Raphael.

Your enthusiastic guide will fascinate you throughout the tour with commentary on art history and the history of the Vatican State. Whether you're a novice or an art veteran, the Sistine Chapel is sure to impress. It is often referred to as the jewel in Michelangelo's crown.

Finally, your guide will lead the group through a special passageway from the Sistine Chapel into St. Peter’s Basilica, skipping yet another long line. Inside the Basilica your guide will provide background on this breathtaking center of the Catholic faith.

St. Peter's Basilica is the last stop on your tour. You can either choose to follow your guide and group out of the Basilica, or remain inside to further explore its splendor and perhaps even climb to its impressive dome.
