Step by Step

Want to feel like the protagonist of a Dan Brown novel as you unravel the mysteries of the Vatican? Now you can make it happen with this guided tour of the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. Forget the stress and rush of buying tickets on arrival and waiting for hours in queues at the ticket office. Go straight to the Olympus of art!

From the first step, an expert guide will take you on a journey through the history of art in small groups. The entire tour will be with headphones so you won't miss a single detail of the Vatican's best kept secrets.

The tour starts at the Vatican Museums, a veritable labyrinth full of works of art. You'll find gems such as the sculpture of Laocoön and his sons, and paintings by Caravaggio and Raphael, among many others. If you love art, you'll feel like a kid in a candy shop - you won't know where to look first!

Just when you think you've seen it all, the Sistine Chapel awaits. Michelangelo's frescoes are a breathtaking visual experience, a direct connection to the grandeur of the Renaissance. Listen carefully to the guide who has a lot to tell you!

And there's more. St. Peter's Basilica, the largest Catholic church in the world, will take your breath away at 193 metres long and 44.5 metres high. It is bigger than a football pitch and as tall as a 10-storey building. Geniuses such as Raphael Sanzio, Michelangelo and Bernini left their mark here. Inside, marvels such as Michelangelo's "Pietà" and many more await you.

But no matter how much I tell you about it, nothing compares to experiencing it in person. Do you dare to see it for yourself? Get ready for this total immersion into the art and history of the Vatican!

    Entering the Pio Clementino museum is like being in a medieval movie. I have never enjoyed a tour as much as this one, one of the best experiences of my life. To repeat in the future.

    A very nice tour, with a tour full of masterpieces. Although I would have liked to take pictures in the Sistine Chapel.

    A very different experience from what I am used to, I think it is a tour that everyone should do, the guide nourishes you with history from beginning to end. Very professional in his work and his way of dealing with people.
