Sistine Chapel

Of course this wonderful Vatican tour includes access to the incredible Sistine Chapel. Although it is true there is something to be said for the early morning light in the Sistine Chapel, we believe there is even more to be said about its magical evening glow. Rome is famous for its “golden hour” which is that fleeting, enchanted moment just before dusk when the city seems to turn to Pure Gold. From January 12 through March 31, the Vatican Museums will be carrying out special conservation work on Michelangelo’s Last Judgment inside the Sistine Chapel. During this time, a scaffolding structure will cover the entire Last Judgment wall. The Sistine Chapel will remain open and fully accessible, but this specific artwork will not be visible during the restoration period.

    Really enjoyed the time with Selenia. Private tour is definitely the way to go with 11 year old son. Able to determine the pace and adjust as you go along and tailor it to our interests. Just too much stuff to see and you really need a guide to understand where to spend your time and the details behind the different rooms and the most important pieces.

    Review: We truly enjoyed our Vatican tour this evening with Oksana as our guide. She was fantastic, blending a strong mix of knowledge, enthusiasm, and awareness of our group’s needs. She thoughtfully tailored her explanations, ensuring the younger children stayed engaged and could easily follow along, while also sharing meaningful insights for the adults. Thanks to her guidance, we uncovered many fascinating details and artworks that might have gone unnoticed if left on our own. The children remained captivated throughout, and everyone in the family appreciated Oksana’s friendly, informative approach. She made the evening both educational and memorable. We’re already excited to return and would happily recommend Oksana and LivTours to others. Thank you f

    We were part of a small group of six, looked after by the fantastic Sabrina, our Liv Tour Guide. She was so knowledgeable about the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica. We had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Sabrina’s English was excellent and she ensured we saw all the key highlights during our 3 hour tour. Highly recommend Liv Tours and Sabrina.
