Our tour starts off at the Vatican Museums, where more than four millennia’s rich history is stored. Worried about getting lost in the labyrinth of corridors and galleries? Don’t be.

They’re excited to answer as many questions that you could possibly come up with, so feel free to ask away.
Sistine Chapel
Afterwards, we’ll head over to the Pope’s private place of prayer, the Sistine Chapel. Home to two of Michelangelo’s masterpieces, The Last Judgement and the famous frescoed ceiling, the Sistine Chapel is just as awe-inspiring today as when it was unveiled in the 1500s.
