Discover the figures, the technique and the meaning of the frescoes created in 4 years of Michelangelo's timeless passion on our Sistine Chapel tour. Find out more about Julius II, the pope who commissioned his works. Wander through Raphael's rooms as you let our expert guide reveal the mysteries and insights of the depicted characters. Discover how the church's admiration for art has led to such a vast collection of treasures in the Vatican Museums recovered from underground after years of neglect. Skip the queues and find yourself inside St Peter's Basilica where you will be able to contemplate the long history of Christian faith and be moved by Michelangelo's world famous sculpture, Pietà.

    This was a great tour with amazing things to see. The tour guide was knowledgeable and made it a great experience. Overall we really enjoyed this tour and would do it again. Was not aware that most of the tour was in areas without A/C so if you go in the summer be prepared for the heat. Only a minor issue.
