Step by Step

Discover the heart of the Vatican with this guided tour where a maximum of 10 people will share an in-depth and personalised cultural experience. With fast-track entry included, you'll avoid the long queues and make the most of your time exploring this unique enclave.

Your guide will lead you through the different rooms of the Vatican Museums, such as the Gallery of the Maps, the Gallery of the Tapestries or the Gallery of the Candelabra, showing you the most important works of artists such as Raphael, Leonardo or Caravaggio. Each explanation is designed to help you understand not only what you see, but also its historical and symbolic relevance.

The jewel of the tour is the Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo left his eternal mark. There you can admire the imposing ceiling painted by the artist and his famous "Last Judgement". Your guide will give you the keys to interpret the biblical scenes and the secrets hidden in the frescoes.

The tour concludes with VIP access to St. Peter's Basilica, one of the most impressive temples in the Christian world. Here you will see, among other wonders, Michelangelo's Pietà sculpture and Bernini's majestic dome.

This visit is more than a sightseeing tour: it is a journey to the heart of Western history, art and spirituality, in the incomparable setting of the Vatican.

    The guided tour of the Vatican was very informative and the small group allowed for a more personalised experience, although it would be ideal to have a little more free time to explore on your own.
