Itinerary
Begin your journey through one of the world’s most important art collections — the Vatican Museums. With your expert guide, explore its magnificent galleries filled with classical sculptures, Renaissance masterpieces, and centuries of artistic heritage. Discover the Gallery of Maps, the Gallery of Tapestries, and the Raphael Rooms, where the genius of Raphael comes alive through vivid frescoes and fascinating stories.
Admire the extraordinary frescoes of Raphael, true masterpieces of the High Renaissance. Know the deeper meanings behind works such as The School of Athens, which represents the harmony between philosophy, science, and faith — an artistic dialogue that defined an era.
Enter the world-renowned Sistine Chapel, the artistic and spiritual heart of the Vatican. Be amazed by Michelangelo’s breathtaking frescoes, including The Creation of Adam and The Last Judgment. Before entering, your guide will provide context so you can fully appreciate every detail and symbol in respectful silence once inside this sacred space.
Located in front of Saint Peter's Basilica, this square marks the border between the Vatican state and the Italian state, the meeting place for thousands of faithful Catholics from all over the world, and the end point of our tour.

About Rome
Rome layers nearly three thousand years of history into one walkable city, from the Colosseum and Forum to Baroque piazzas and Vatican art.
Ancient Rome is still in plain sight. The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill sit together at the city's heart, the Pantheon still stands with its open oculus, and fragments of temples and aqueducts turn up between apartment blocks. Across the Tiber, Vatican City holds St Peter's Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Top-ranked sights in Rome: Colosseum, Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel.
