With your expert English-speaking guide leading the way (your tour will take full advantage of the flow of visitors in the Museums), you will avoid the most crowded rooms at the most chaotic times. Towards the end of your visit, you'll even be among the visitors to see the Sistine Chapel with plenty of space to contemplate and admire Michelangelo's greatest masterpiece.

The guide will optimize your visit on the day of your tour, being sure to showcase the Vatican Museum's most important highlights. Your tour will visit hidden corners of the Vatican that other tours don't. Where? Well... that's a secret that will be revealed on the day of your tour!

A typical Vatican afternoon tour will cover the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, including but not limited to the Pinecone Courtyard, the Belvedere Courtyard, the Room of the Muses, the Round Room, Greek Cross Room, Candelabra Gallery, Gallery of the Tapestries and the Gallery of the Maps.
