Over a thousand pieces of antique sculpture are on display in the Chiaramonti Museum, and in the Gallery of Maps, you will see 16th-century maps depicting Italy and its regions.

  • Not great and expensive!

    What we saw was incredible but sadly our guide persistently made inappropriate comments to my partner and other female members of the group. Having fast track was great but can’t help but feel it was really overpriced

  • Excellent Vatican museum tour

    Our guide was very knowledgeable and talked to us for quite awhile before entering the museums. The only reason that I gave it 4 stars was that my brother wears hearing aids and they weren’t compatible with the audio ear pieces and it was impossible for him to stay close to her to hear her.

  • Educational and fun

    Our guide was so knowledgeable and funny. She really made the tour special. Despite the crowds and the heat - it was really really enjoyable. I had visited the museum before but never learned as much as I learned from her. Thank you so much!
