Vatican Museum Guided Tour
Take part in a Vatican Museum Guided Tour, visiting the Sistine Chapel with an expert tour guide, and live an unforgettable experience. So, join the group that is about to leave and, with a tour guide, begin your journey to discover the masterpieces that make the Vatican Museum unique in the world.
Meet our staff at the appointed point. This will be happy to welcome you and accompany you on one of the most exciting adventures ever. Get to know the tour guide and, in possession of the Vatican Museum Skip Line Tickets, go to the entrance of the Museums. Together with it you retrace the stages of its history; of its origin; and, of course, what it contains.
Inside the Vatican Museum
Your tour guide, after having passed the routine checks, will be happy to give you new and suggestive emotions that you cannot do without.
Whenever we enter a museum and cross the various rooms, we make an ideal journey, a sort of itinerary of the soul that allows us to return to the roots of Man and to try to build a collective identity. And this is certainly what will happen once you enter the Vatican Museum.
Room after room; work after work; garden after garden, the Vatican Museum are like a new door to the world. Each room describes and tells something; an area, or corner that may be, was designed and wanted to catapult the viewer into another parallel world. Where is it? Away from everyone’s eyes; by the voices around him; almost as if to create a feeling between the work and himself.
What to see in the Vatican Museum?
The Vatican Museum include architectural structures of great historical interest. It is a collection of galleries and museums containing evidence of a past that is still present. In fact, they constitute a complex of enormous dimensions. Over 42,000 square meters available to the public and an exhibition line of almost 7 kilometers. Among these: the Egyptian Museum; the Gallery of Geographical Maps with masterpieces of classical art; the Gallery of the Tapestries; the masterpieces of the Vatican Museum Pinacoteca; the Raphael Rooms and much more.
Finally, don’t forget the Sistine Chapel. Final stage of the journey, it is considered the masterpiece par excellence of all humanity. Pause to admire its walls in silence; the vault; the figures represented in their smallest details; in the smallest gestures. Finally, turn your attention to the Last Judgment. Imagine Michelangelo in front of you who, on a wooden structure, is intent on painting the vault lying on his back while the color drips onto his face.
Live every single moment. Live every single emotion. In other words, experience the Vatican Museum.

An unforgettable experience
The guided tour of the Vatican Museums was simply extraordinary! From the very beginning, everything was handled with great professionalism: we reached the meeting point calmly, assisted with patience and care by your guy, who ensured we met our guide without any stress.
Once inside, the magnificence of the Vatican Museums left us speechless—every room, fresco, and detail told a story of centuries of beauty and history. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging, making the entire visit even more fascinating with clear and passionate explanations.
An experience to live at least once in a lifetime! Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore the wonders of the Vatican in a meaningful and well-organized way.

Glad we skipped the queue
Everything was well organised and straightforward. Skipping the queue was absolutely worth it, especially with temperatures nearing 40 degrees! Our guide was easy to spot and handled things efficiently and professionally.
It was a bit on the pricey side compared to the face value of the ticket, but given the heat and how smooth everything went, we felt it was money well spent. Overall, a very good experience. I would happily recommend, particularly during the busy summer months.

Davvero una sorpresa
Ci hanno dato una mano a trovare la fila e ci hanno spiegato bene come si entra. Il giro è “self guided”, e per noi è stato meglio così. Il museo è gigantesco! Ce lo siamo fatti con calma, pure passando veloce in certi posti, ma alla fine ci abbiamo messo tre ore comunque.

Bella visita alla Cappella Sistina
C’ero già stato tanti anni fa, ai tempi delle elementari, ma allora più che ascoltare la guida pensavo a scherzare con i compagni. Stavolta, da adulto, è stata tutta un’altra cosa.
L’assistenza fuori dai Musei è stata molto utile: Alessia e Daniele ci hanno accompagnati all’ingresso dove abbiamo incontrato Luciana, la nostra guida. Bravissima, preparata e molto gentile. Ci ha spiegato tante cose interessanti che non conoscevo, davvero affascinante.
Un’esperienza che consiglio, soprattutto se fatta con una guida come Luciana. Ne vale la pena.
