    Enrich your Vatican experience by joining this personal, semi-private tour where you can delve into the fabulous art and history that surrounds the Vatican Museums, and Sistine Chapel.

    Begin at the Vatican Museum, a labyrinthine complex featuring over 1,000 rooms that cover four millennia. Enjoy a curated route to help you navigate through the dazzling displays.

    Very good tour. There is a tremendous amount to see. Our guide was knowledgeable, and a guided tour was extremely helpful to make the most of the time at the Vatican Museums. Not 5 stars simply because we had to move so quickly and there wasn’t much time for questions, but honestly it’s difficult to know how to improve the experience. A longer tour would have been difficult to consume.

    My husband and I did a tour with ivana our guide. She was thoughtful, organized and knowledgeable. We were worried 3 hours would be too much talking for us as we are not generally “tour” people. Ivana was extremely engaging and went above and beyond for the group. I would say it’s the best tour I have ever been on

    We did a tour of the Vatican including Sistine chapel with Fe from Carpe Diem. Fe was so knowledgable and super engaged in the art and history we were seeing which really brought the tour to life for us all (even the children on the tour which i was amazed about!) So glad I booekd this tour, we really enjoyed it.
