Vatican & Sistine Chapel Tour Itinerary

On this incredible Vatican and Sistine Chapel Tour, you’ll take a trip down (ancient) memory lane and discover the marvels of the Pope’s home, as well as learn all about the colourful past of Rome through the Vatican Museums and the Vatican City’s two most prominent landmarks, the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. As you go, paintings by Raphael, Michelangelo, and Bernini will form a masterpiece of a backdrop, while a qualified art historian guide will walk you through the most visited museums of Rome bringing the exhibits and stories to life. On top of that, you’ll get to jump all the queues for the half-day duration of the tour, so there’s no waiting around.

The Vatican itself is a revered and holy destination graced by millions of visitors every year, and the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Basilica are some of the most prominent landmarks in the history of human civilization. We kick off the Vatican and Sistine Chapel Tour with a browse of the museums. Here, you can wander through exhibits that include one of the world’s most important art collections that have been put together by Rome’s Popes over five centuries. Look out for renowned classical sculptures and big-name masterpieces from the Renaissance era. As you go, a knowledgeable art historian will divulge key information about the Vatican and its heady past through prominent artworks and pieces. They will pick out iconic works and weave stories around some of the world’s greatest artists of all time, including Raphael and Michelangelo.

After the Museums, we’ll continue on to St. Peter’s Square, where you can walk through the impressive and opulent colonnade made by Bernini himself before heading on to the Basilica – one of the Catholic world’s most important places. The stunning building took centuries to build, with famous architects like Michelangelo pitching in. Its eye-catching dome is one of the most iconic shots of Rome and, once inside, you’ll once again have the chance to admire some of Italy’s most impressive masterpieces. Keep your eyes peeled for “Pieta” by Michelangelo, as well as several works by Bernini and Canova.

This Vatican and Sistine Chapel Tour submerges you in the history of the Vatican, giving you the chance to learn all about this world-famous creative and Catholic landmark.
