Itinerary

  • Vatican City

    With our Early Entrance into the Vatican, you’ll explore the Vatican Museums before they open to the general public so you can admire the Sistine Chapel in a more intimate atmosphere before finishing with skip-the-line access to St Peter’s Basilica through a reserved entrance.

    30 minutes

  • Sphere within a Sphere

    In the heart of the Vatican's Cortile della Pigna stands a notable bronze sculpture: Sfera con sfera (Sphere Within a Sphere) by Italian artist Arnaldo Pomodoro. This captivating artwork depicts two fractured orbs resembling intricate machine gears, symbolizing the intricate and fragile nature of the modern world. Pomodoro began creating similar sculptures in the early 1960s, exploring the theme of complexity.

Top Notch

Published on Dec, 2024

Straight to front of the line with a full sit down breakfast with cappuccino to start. The guide was extremely knowledgeable on the history and talked with headsets the entire time which truly made the tour so much more interesting.

Personal, memorable experience with Christian

Published on Dec, 2024

Christian was knowledgeable, personable and very hospitable. He remembered the names of his guests and tailored the tour details to our interests. He had a great sense of humor and made us feel very special. He offered great insights and facilitated a very memorable experience. Overall, this was a great value and intro to the Vatican museum highlights & Sistine chapel. I will probably return to the museum on my own in the future to have more time to explore other galleries in more detail.

Wonderful morning

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a wonderful morning at the Vatican. Breakfast was better than expected and the staff were so kind. Christian was our guide and kept the tour entertaining for our kids (14,9).
