Follow your guide to the greatest galleries and see frescoes, statues, tapestries, and historical maps. Find the Borgia Apartment with rooms painted by Raphael, the Vatican Pinacoteca, the Gallery of Maps, the Courtyard of the Pine Cone, and more.

We missed our guided tour and they set us up with the next one which also included a tour of the Vatican gardens. We paid 10 euros extra, which was well worth it! Our guide was phenomenal!

Great tour, knowledgeable guide, easy check in and directions at the venue. Try not to book this with another tour elsewhere on the same day - it will detract from both as there us so much to see.

It was helpful to have an English speaking guide for our tour. She explained all the different sections of the Sistine Chapel and who was in the paintings. I learned a lot!
