This 3-hour Vatican Tour is led by an expert guide who will share stories you won't hear anywhere else! Visit the highlights of the Vatican Museums in small, exclusive groups limited to 10 people or less. No-wait access is included and is the fastest possible way to enter the Museums.

A typical itinerary inside the Vatican Museums includes the Pavilion of the Carriages, home to everything from centuries-old horse-drawn carriages to vintage and modern cars really used by Popes past and present. You'll visit the Pinecone Courtyard, the Hall of the Maps (the Oval Office of the Pope centuries ago), the Gallery of the Tapestries, the Pinacoteca, Belvedere Courtyard, Room of the Muses, the Round Room and Candelabra Gallery. This courtyard gets its name from the enormous bronze Pinecone sculpture that dominates it.

The Vatican Museums contains some modern art as well, including this famous sculpture: Sphere within a Sphere. Variations of this sculpture can be found in many settings around the world.

After the gallery's visit, you will get to the Raphael Rooms, painted with incredible frescoes, originally meant for the private rooms of Pope Julius II.

The last stop is Sistine Chapel but since guides aren't allowed to speak inside you will visit it at your pace. However, your guide will prepare you in advance for your free time inside so you'll know what to look for.

Your visit ends close to where it began, after the spiral staircase at the entrance to the Vatican Museums.
