Your Vatican, your way
Imagine a Vatican tour tailored to your specific interests, where you're guided through spaces like the Niccolò V Chapel or the Belvedere Courtyard by an expert. No more waiting in long lines; skip the ticketing queue and step into the Vatican with ample time to explore its treasures. As your guide narrates the fascinating history of Raphael's Rooms and the Sistine Chapel, immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Vatican history. Escape the crowds and delve deeper into your areas of interest, such as the lesser-known Gregorian Etruscan Museum or the Pinecone Courtyard.
Explore the Sistine Chapel
Did you know that the Sistine Chapel's ceiling was originally painted upside down by Michelangelo? It wasn't until the chapel's restoration in the 1900s that the ceiling was tilted to its current position. This fascinating detail adds an extra layer of intrigue to your Vatican visit. With a personalized tour and insider knowledge, you'll uncover the Vatican's hidden gems, appreciate its iconic landmarks, and create unforgettable memories.
