Exclusive VIP Access Tour of Vatican Museum & Sistine Chapel

This VIP access Vatican tour is the most exclusive and unforgettable way of experiencing the Sistine Chapel with the choice to visit at sunrise or sunset. Either way, you’ll enjoy special access and avoid the crowds that pack the space during normal opening hours as you spend two hours alone in the Vatican Museums with group. In the capable hands of an expert guide, you’ll explore the halls of the Vatican Museums and discover some of the world’s greatest artistic treasures. Admire the extraordinary frescoes in the Raphael Rooms, the awe-inspiring Gallery of Maps, the Gallery of the Candelabras, and more. Then, step inside the Sistine Chapel for a memorable — and uniquely quiet — visit without the crowds. Take in Michelangelo’s masterpiece with your own eyes and discover little known facts you never knew before. After the near-empty Chapel has taken your breath away, you’ll say goodbye to your guide after a once-in-a-lifetime experience you’ll remember for years to come.

Head straight into the Vatican Museums and visit the Raphael Rooms, laden with extraordinary frescoes by the Renaissance master. Discover the ornate sculptures in the Octagonal Courtyard, the awe-inspiring Gallery of Maps, the Gallery of the Candelabras, and the Gallery of Tapestries, just to name a few.

Inside the peaceful, Pinecone Courtyard you can’t miss the 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.

Description: As the crowning moment of your experience, you’ll step into the Sistine Chapel and enjoy the extremely rare experience of being there completely alone. The next 30 minutes are all yours to contemplate the Chapel in impeccable silence with just a handful of other visitors from your group around — a far cry from the typical crowds throughout the day.
