Descripción general Join us on a fascinating journey into the history and art of the Vatican

Our special in-depth VIP Vatican tour is the ideal way to experience the wonders of the Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museums and Saint Peter's Basilica, allowing you to discover the stories and meanings behind great masterpieces and hidden gems along the way. There is only one route that brings you to the Sistine Chapel, passing through courtyards and palaces containing one of the best art collections in all the world. Don't rush through them; you'll be captivated by these extraordinary masterpieces and their intricate details - such as the eyes of a statue or frescoes lighting up a ceiling.

Meet the genius of Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel

Whoever explores the Sistine Chapel through the eyes of Michelangelo, whoever reads his thoughts and sentiments in these awe-inspiring frescoes, encounters a genius. Learn who Michelangelo was, discover how he lived and what he thought. Discover how he came to master the technique of fresco on the job, and how his working practices and designs changed according to his inspiration even as he painted the chapel.

In the company of our expert art-historian guide learn all about the greatest artistic undertakings of the Italian Renaissance: together we'll relive the dramatic environment of Rome's Papal court, and unravel the context in which Michelangelo created his masterpieces. Appreciate the figures of Jonah, Adam, Eve, Noah and thousands of others on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and in the Last Judgement, and discover the incredible stories they tell us. On our tour of the Sistine chapel understand how these frescoes redefined not only art, but even the way in which we look at the world around us.
Relive the world of the Renaissance court in the Raphael Rooms

This was a period of amazing innovation, when the great characters of the Renaissance completely revolutionised our understanding of the world. The printing press, the geographic maps that Columbus used to reach the Americas, the dawning of modern science, a new conception of architecture, art and the sense of beauty (a concept frequently demonized in the Middle Ages) - all these were their innovations. The frescoes of the Raphael rooms perfectly depict the world of the contemporary courts that governed the course of this new world, where the great geniuses of the age lived and worked.

2,000 years of art and history on our Vatican Museums tour

Some of the the most important works that we will discover on our group tour of the Vatican, such as timeless Greek masterpieces like the Laocoon, the Belvedere Torso and the Apollo Belvedere, were excavated at the time of Michelangelo and Raphael; the great Renaissance artists studied and admired them in the same architectural context in which they are preserved today, and the artworks that they created are the fruit of their careful study. Following in their footsteps, you'll pass through the Pinecone courtyard, the Belvedere courtyard and the tapestry galleries in the company of a guide capable of recreating the climate of the epoch - allowing you to appreciate the Raphael Rooms and the Sistine Chapel in their historical context.

Leonardo, Caravaggio and Raphael's Last Painting in the Pinacoteca

Some of the finest paintings of the Vatican Museums are collected in the Pinacoteca (Picture Gallery), still ignored by most tours. On our extended Vatican Tour you will explore this tranquil part of the Museums, appreciating the explosive force of Leonardo's Saint Jerome and the spectacular realism of Caravaggio's Deposition, an artist of absolute and ungovernable genius. We will also encounter Raphael's Transfiguration, a work that would be his last when, struck down by a terrible fever, he died at the height of his fame at the tender age of 37. To learn more about the masterpieces of the Picture Gallery, check out our guide to 5 Highlights of the Vatican Pinacoteca.

Discover the dramatic story of Christianity on our St. Peter's tour

From the Sistine Chapel we will directly enter St. Peter's Basilica, without having to wait in line. This part of our Vatican tour will bring us to the heart of the Christian faith, and along the way we will discover an incredible collection of relics and religious tokens that have accumulated here over the course of nearly 2,000 years at the site of St. Peter's tomb. Our Vatican group tour is optimized to allow you to experience these amazing objects in their original context. At the same time you will have the chance to admire and understand enchanting works of art such as Michelangelo's Pietà, whose tender intimacy moves all who gaze upon it. St. Peter's is also home to the masterpieces of Bernini, the greatest genius of the Italian Baroque, and the spectacular square he designed to lead up to the basilica dazzles with astounding optical effects. Crowds of devoted faithful have gathered for centuries to celebrate the most important events of Christianity, from the election of new popes to solemn masses. History seems to be alive in this beautiful place, and it's the perfect spot to conclude our fascinating Vatican group tour itineraries.
