A visit to the Vatican Museum with the Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica, combined with an orientation drive through the grand avenues of Rome, in the company of a small group highlights your day. Although a quick pace and substantial amount of walking is required, your day will be extremely rewarding. In the morning, enjoy an orientation drive through the Eternal City passing the Arch of Constantine and the famed Colosseum.


After lunch, you’ll visit the Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel, boasting Michelangelo’s magnificent ceiling. You’ll gaze in awe at Piazza San Pietro, one of the world’s most beautiful squares that faces the largest church in the world, St. Peter’s. Some of its fabulous treasures will be shown to you by your guide during a brief visit. You’ll then rejoin your motorcoach for the return to Civitavecchia.


Need to Know:

Note: Tour does include an extensive amount of walking over cobblestone terrain and several steps to negotiate. As tour visits a religious site, please dress appropriately - no bare shoulders, shorts, or skirts above the knee. Large bags or backpacks aren’t permitted in the Vatican nor in St. Peter's Basilica. Your guide will join you in Rome, however you’ll have an escort with you throughout the day. Order of sights may vary. Expect very large crowds at the Vatican and Sistine Chapel, especially during summer. Tour will not operate on Sundays as the Vatican is closed. Due to a restriction on Vatican tickets, early booking is strongly encouraged, and there is a cancellation deadline of 75 days before the call for this tour. Due to ongoing construction, the PIETÀ DI MICHELANGELO will be not viewable until September 2024.
