What makes Rome: Vatican Museum Evening Small Group Tour a unique experience ?

Meeting point close to the Museums entrance.

Indulge in the truly unique atmosphere of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel as night falls on our VIP Vatican after-hours tour. This intimate journey features all of the must sees you would expect in the company an expert insider guide and small group of only 12 guests or fewer when the doors have been closed to the general public.

It is true, an after-hours tour will allow visitors to notice details that normally go unseen and will grant for all participants an experience that is unmatched and cannot be duplicated.

The former Papal Apartments during periods of the 16th and 17th centuries are often overlooked for time management reasons so ordinary visits have a tendency to minimize time spent in these rooms.

The great artist was a rival of Michelangelo who, at the same time, was dwelling in the Sistine Chapel executing his equally titanic fresco.

While all rooms are overwhelming in their beauty, the graceful chromatic balancing is possibly the real fantastic characteristic which stands out in these four rooms.

Eyes peeled for Raphael’s most captivating works, the most famous of which is his iconic “School of Athens”.

See the rare magic of the Vatican Museums in the evening when the doors are open to the Sistine Chapel after the crowds have gone home.

Get marooned in this religious and artistic jewel, over five centuries old and safeguarding some of the world’s greatest frescoes.
