TOUR ITINERARY
With this Vatican by night tour each visitor will get a once-in-a-lifetime experience and visit the world-famous Vatican Museums at night time, when the crowds have gone. How many people can say they’ve walked through the halls and galleries of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapels when they were almost empty?
Avoid the huge daytime crowds and opt for an exclusive skip-the-line tour of the Vatican in the evening. A passionate and expert guide will take you through the history and insights of the architectural and artistic masterpieces that fill the museums. You’ll experience the Sistine Chapel with Michalengelo’s The Last Judgement and Creation of Adam completely undisturbed.
The protagonist of the evening tour is without a doubt the Sistine Chapel. Just imagine, the privilege of visiting at this time was once reserved just for Popes and the Papal Conclave.
Look out for renowned sculptures and masterpieces of Renaissance art. Feel the weight of history and get a sense of the sacred as you spy paintings by Raphael, Giotto, Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio and Michelangelo, including his masterwork in the Sistine Chapel.

This tour was excellent. The twilight ambiance and the lack of crowds made this a truly memorable experience. Matteo was so passionate and knowledgeable about everything on this tour that he really made it all come to life, not to mention you come away understanding so much more. Highly recommend.

Upon our first evening arrival in Rome we took the evening stroll tour with Giuliano, it was outstanding and we hit all the must see spots with plenty of time to soak it all in. What a great way to get introduced to Rome! It was like having our own historian, art history and cultural expert. Thank you!!!

Carlota was fabulous! We arrived about 10 minutes before the start of the tour and were informed that we were the only two signed up for the tour! It was a wonderful surprise. She took the time to talk to us a bit about our interests and curated the tour just for us! It was a great experience. Carlota was very knowledgeable.
