Magic of the Vatican Museums at Night
2h30

About this activity
It goes without saying that Vatican tours and walks during the day which include the Sistine Chapel have become ubiquitous. The Sistine Chapel per se sits high if not top of any respecting Rome 101. Every tour operator offers daytime Vatican tours and the only difference, it seems, which separates us from the chasing masses, is quality of tour guide. We are delighted to report that of the 2,000 reviews we have accumulated on TripAdvisor and twice that number earned elsewhere on the internet, our Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel tours rank highest. Our Vatican guides are absolute top notch and the best time of day to get the best out of their knowledge, their experience, and their company is in the evening when time and space is not equally shared with thousands of other people on other tours.
An unusual nocturnal ambience prevails on this very limited Vatican evening experience, restricted to a very small number of carefully-selected tour groups, far, far removed from the chaos of visiting the Vatican Museums in daytime during Summer.
If you will be in Rome on a Friday evening between mid-April and October, don't miss this trip! Magic of the Vatican Museums at Night encompasses the Courtyard of the Pinecone, entire Pinacoteca (Vatican Art Galleries), Rooms of St. Pius V (*** exceptional opening ***), Galleries of the Vatican Apostolic Library, Gregorian Egyptian Museum, Pio Clementine Museum, Gallery of the Candelabra, Gallery of the Tapestries, Gallery of the Geographical Maps, Raphael’s Rooms, Borgia Apartment, Collection of Contemporary Art, Sistine Chapel - with the best Vatican guide money can buy.
