    Once inside the Vatican Museums, it’s straight to the main event – the Sistine Chapel. Gaze upon Michelangelo’s stupefying ceiling, Creation of Adam and the Last Judgment in awe, sharing the space with your group and a few others. Take your time – and savor each moment – because this is an experience you’ll never want to forget, as you nearly reach out and touch one of humankind’s most astounding creative achievements.
    20 minutes
  • St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, Italy
    If you thought the size of the Vatican Museums was overwhelmingly spectacular, St. Peter’s Basilica takes the “wow factor” to another level. The sheer capacity of the interiors is enough to leave any visitor searching for words to describe its vastness. At 613 feet long, 85 feet wide, and 147 feet high, it took an incredible 120 years to build, starting from 1506. Admire Michelangelo’s unparalleled Pietà masterpiece and stroll towards the center-right nave to observe Bernini’s bronze Baldachin, which sits directly atop the site of St. Peter’s tomb.

    Un parcours magnifique avec Jad notre guide, qui nous a fait vivre un moment inoubliable. Gentillesse, clair dans ses commentaires et une pointe d humour très agréable, il a de plus pris son temps avec nous pour que nous puissions apprécier toutes les merveilles de ce lieu.

    I first used What a Life Tours three years ago when I visited Rome with my mother. At that time we took a wheelchair accessible private early access tour of the Vatican and also a tour of the Borghese Gallery with an art historian. Both were excellent in content and value. I rebooked again this trip with both an early access Vatican small group tour and Colloseum tour with access to the underground. Both were excellent again. Getting up in time to gather at 7 am was worth it to see the Sistine Chapel before the crowds (it’s still busy, but a fraction of what it’s like once the museum opens to the general public). Bear in mind that sometimes the Vatican Museums see as many as 40,000 a day and regularly 25,000. I love the friendliness and expertise of the guides, who really know their stuff. Mario was our guide for the Vatican Museums; he was extremely knowledgeable, funny and gracious. Loved it! Our Colloseum tour was with I love that small group means small group - they never overbook the tours. We were ten on the Vatican tour and that was perfect.

    What a Life Tours was OUTSTANDING. Breakfast before the tour was a nice start, and very organized. Our tour guide.... Elaine was magnificent. Elaine was HIGHLY knowledgeable and also entertaining. It was abundantly clear that she pours her heart and soul into making her guided tours of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peters Basilica a once in a lifetime memorable experience. They have my full and unconditional recommendation.
