Departure Point

Via Vespasiano, 41, 00192 Roma RM, Italy We will meet you in our office (Vip in Italy). Please be there 15 minutes before the tour starts.

  • Vatican Museums, Vatican City, Italy
    Upon skipping the queue, you'll start to explore the areas where pontiffs of the Vatican Museums since 1503 have collected all the pieces of art throughout the years. Begin the tour in the Picture Gallery, where you'll see Raffaello’s 'I cartoni degli arazzi,' and 'La Trasfigurazione', Leonardo da Vinci's 'San Girolamo,' Caravaggio's 'La deposizione di Cristo,' Giotto's 'Il trittico Stefaneschi,' just to name some of the most famous ones. You will then go though the spectacular Cortile della Pigna and the Cortile del Belvedere, passing by the Animal’s Gallery, in order to join the Muse's Room with 'Torso del Belvedere,' and to finish this portion of the tour in the famous Circle Room. You will then pass by the Greek Cross Room in order to admire Saint Helen's and Saint Constance's sarcophagus. You will go through the Sala della Biga and continue throughout several galleries: the Candelabra gallery, the Galleria degli Arazzi, and the Map's Gallery. Furthermore, you'll reach the Pius V's Room and moreover the Sobieskj Room, which is the Immaculate Conceptions' room.
    60 minutes
  • Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, Italy
    Finally, you’ll arrive to the famous Sistine Chapel. Notice all the frescoes entirely painted by Michelangelo, which is a quite amazing feat by one man.
    30 minutes
  • St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, Italy
    Next, head to St. Peter's Basilica passing in front of the famous Porta Santa. Saint Peter's was built between 1506 and 1626 - an interminable construction site. By the way, a large amount of travertine (used to build the Colosseum) has become a part of St. Peter's building material. The construction started with Pope Julius II in 1506, who asked Italian artist Bramante to destroy the original Constantine cathedral in order to build a new one with the Greek cross plan. Inside the church you'll admire the renowned Michelangelo's, 'La Pieta' and Bernini's baldacchino - the statue made by Arnolfo di Cambio in honor of Saint Peter. Furthermore, you will see the Vatican's cavern where the Popes' tombs are located. Finally, head to Piazza San Pietro (St. Peter's Square) with its marvelous Bernini columns - a symbol of embrace between the church and the christian world. You will admire St. Peter's dome, created by Michelangelo, and the balcony where the Pontiff gives the blessings. Here, you will see Sistine Chapel's roof where the white or black smoke escapes during the a Pope's election, and the famous obelisk which stands tall in the center of the square. The tour will conclude in St. Peter's Square approximately 2.5 hours after your chosen start time.

The guide was very precise and didn’t miss any detail. I consider using the same guide for other visits because it was a memorable experience. I suggest this agency because they are highly qualified and flawless. The guide was very professional and made us learn many new facts without getting bored. High quality tour

While the tour guide was informative the experience with cup was chaotic. Start was delayed at departure point. Unclear as to where tour went from when at the office as so many groups were pooled on footpath. Our guide gave a lot of history 're the art but not so much on construction etc . We weren't told of the Raphael rooms or which popes were buried where etc and were delayed again in a queue waiting for tickets in our skip the line queue. While I understand the crowds were large .surely VIP could have purchased tickets in advance as other tour companies do.

Siamo stati oggi alla visita guidata della cappella Sistina e musei Vaticani. Dopo due ore per entrare ai musei (dovevamo avere accesso privilegiato), siamo arrivati al front office per ritirare le radio, ma il responsabile della visita non aveva pagato i biglietti online, quindi siamo rimasti davanti al banco nel pieno della fila, tra gente alle spalle che protestava perché impossibilitata a passare e gli addetti al front office che ci chiedevano di spostarci. Dopo 15 minuti di attesa è arrivato il responsabile allontanatosi per motivi sconosciuti ed ha dovuto fare la fila per acquistare finalmente i biglietti. Ma non è finita qui, nei musei sembrava d'essere su un circuito di Formula 1, la guida per i ritardi accumulati ha corso dall'inizio alla fine del tour, dando spiegazioni vaghe e imprecise. Nella cappella Sistina siamo rimasti per 2 minuti al massimo, solo perché mancavano all'appello alcune persone (vedendo la situazione due del gruppo hanno abbandonato la guida trattenendosi nella cappella). Abbiamo saltato inoltre la pinacoteca, stanze di Raffaello, museo egizio, Caravaggio e Leonardo. Davvero pessima scelta e pessimo tour, se volete preservare la vostra salute e il vostro tempo scegliete un'agenzia diversa.
