Travel back in time within the Gallery of Maps, a cartographic masterpiece that unveils the world as it was once perceived. Throughout your exploration, your guide will weave captivating tales, revealing the lives of the Popes who commissioned these works, the artistic movements that shaped them, and the hidden symbolism embedded within each piece.

  • Manuel, our guide...

    Manuel, our Cuban guide, was very good! But I wouldn't do it again without priority entry! We were informed that admission would take approximately 40’, but we were more than an hour and a half to enter! And that is that we chose without priority access, because we wanted to tour in Spanish... and it was what we got (and bought in time). Yes, I would again, NOT without priority access!

  • Awesome!, carlos made us...

    Seriously, the way the guide brought the whole place to life - the stories behind the art, the hidden details you'd miss on your own - it felt like we were on some secret Vatican adventure. Plus, they made sure we skipped all those crazy long lines, which was a lifesaver in that Roman heat!

  • Best Vatican Tour Ever! Thanks

    Let me start by saying absolutely wow! My recent Vatican tour with Wanderwise was an experience that will stay with me forever. From the very beginning, the organization was flawless. Booking the tour was a breeze, and all the information I needed was clear and readily available. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

  • Scam, don't contract with Wanderwise.

    The activity has not been carried out. Wanderwise does not buy tickets in advance, and they do not guarantee that you will be able to enter. After more than half an hour of queuing, we are told that the doors have closed and that the visit will not take place.
