See the stunning Sistine Chapel after the crowds have left for the day. With entry three hours before closing time, take a guided tour of the Vatican Museums before entry to the Sistine Chapel, as the last visitors of the day leave, to enjoy away from the mid-afternoon crowds. Your small group will be accompanied by an expert guide as you explore the Belvedere Courtyard with ‘Apollo Belvedere’ and ‘Laocoön and Sons’, and finally Michelangelo's masterwork in the Sistine Chapel in relative peace and quiet.

  • Vatican Museums, Vatican City, Italy
    Skip the (always long) lines into the museums, diving right into the galleries holding some of the most famous works of art in the world. Your expert, English-speaking guide will offer eye-opening insight and context (along with some great stories) as you explore the Belvedere Courtyard with ‘Apollo Belvedere’ and ‘Laocoön and Sons’, the Pinecone Courtyard, the Gallery of the Candelabra, the Gallery of the Maps, and the Gallery of the Tapestries. Visiting after the daytime crowds have left, you’ll appreciate the extra space and silence to appreciate the magnificent artwork in the Museums.

  • Sphere within a Sphere, Vatican City, Italy
    Inside the peaceful Pinecone Courtyard you'll pass a spectacular bronze globe. It was designed for the Vatican by well-known Italian artist Arnaldo Pomodoro and copies of it can now be found all over the world, including Dublin, Tel Aviv and New York City.
  • Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, Italy
    Then head to the Sistine Chapel just before closing time for a peaceful experience with just a handful of other visitors. Before entering, your guide will explain the stories behind the creation of these iconic frescoes as well as what they mean. When you enter, you will then be able to appreciate the full majesty of the room, spotting the little details and quirks that most people miss.

Our guide was great, you could tell he enjoyed what he did. I can’t imagine doing this on your own and waiting in line, skip the line is worth every penny. Highly recommend your company.

Flot oplevelse. Ville dog ønske, at der havde været mere tid end 15 minutter i Peter's kirken. Synes at der var for meget tid i Vatikan Museet.

This was a really great tour. We booked the earliest tour and we were happy we did as the lines were pretty long as we exited. Started with the Dome Climb, to the Basilica, then the museums, and ended in the Sistine Chapel. I appreciated how knowledgeable and humorous our guide was, he did an excellent job keeping the group moving and together in the busy sections. I did feel like our time in the Basilica was a little short (only 10 minutes). I realize this is a long tour, and there are time reservations for the museum, but an extra 10 to walk around inside would've been nice. Other than that I would definitely recommend booking this tour!
