This guided walking tour in Rome lasts about two and a half hours and covers the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and the Raphael Rooms. The group is kept small to allow for a more personal experience, with departures at 8:00 AM and 8:30 AM.

Following this, you move on to the Raphael Rooms, including the recently restored Constantine Room, spending about 25 minutes there. The tour concludes with a 15-minute visit to the Sistine Chapel, which remains open even during maintenance work on Michelangelo’s "Last Judgment" fresco between January 12 and March 31. Reserved tickets are included to avoid entry lines. Children must be accompanied by an adult. A strict dress code applies: knees and shoulders must be covered for both men and women, and sleeveless tops or shorts are not allowed to enter the museums or places of worship.
