Discover the figures, the technique and the meaning of the frescoes created in 4 years of Michelangelo's timeless passion on our Sistine Chapel tour. Find out more about Julius II, the pope who commissioned his works. Wander through Raphael's rooms as you let our expert guide reveal the mysteries and insights of the depicted characters. Discover how the church's admiration for art has led to such a vast collection of treasures in the Vatican Museums recovered from underground after years of neglect.
** Please note that the Raphael Rooms are part of this 3-hour itinerary but on days due to crowding, timing and direction flows of crowd traffic dictated by the Vatican Museum staff on the day, we may not be able to make this stop within the designated time frame. If the Raphael Rooms are an absolute must for you to see, we suggest you book one of our longer group tours: the Early Vatican Tour or the VIP Vatican Tour where the Raphael Rooms will be covered.**

Absolutely spectacular tour with Lorenzo! We had a family of six and he was the most interesting & knowledgeable guide so far in Rome. It was a five hour tour with a little break. Perfect amount of time for the Vatican!!
We loved being in a small group. Very impressed with Through Eternity Tours!

What a remarkable experience. Our guide, Valeria, was so knowledgeable and friendly. Her background in fine art, history, and archaeology contributed so greatly to our experience and understanding of what we were seeing. We did five hours, and were engaged the entire time--that is saying a lot!
Valeria helped to focus our tour on what was most important to us to see. And were lucky that the doors to the Basilica were open. We were also able to skip a lot of waiting and lines given her knowledge of the tour.

What a great tour guide we had, Maria Letizia Bruschi, and a wonderful driver for the day. Exploring Rome and seeing the many sights would not have been possible if we chose to do this with a large tour group. Highly recommend, very knowledgeable, and a great experience.

Cinzia Cutrone is an amazing guide! She is so knowledgeable and a master storyteller who really made history come alive. We were a group of 6 adults and 5 teenagers and everyone was engaged for the entire 3 hours, even the teenagers! We couldn't believe how fast the time went by. I would highly recommend Cinzia and would absolutely love to go on another tour with her. She is definitely a main highlight from our Italy trip.

We are a couple from Vienna/Austria and booked the English tour with Gracelyn Monaco. It was the perfect experience and we enjoyed the detailed explanations of our highly educated, experienced and sophisticated tour guide. A real pleasure!
