Visite nocturne du Vatican : musées du Vatican et chapelle Sixtine
Description
Visitez les musées du Vatican en début de soirée avec des billets pré-réservés, un accès de groupe et un Guide Expert Anglais qui vous aide à comprendre les histoires derrière l'art. Au lieu de naviguer seul dans les galeries, suivez un itinéraire clair à travers les principaux points forts, de la cour du Pinecone et du musée Pio-Clementino à la galerie des cartes, les salles Raphaël et la chapelle Sixtine. Cette expérience se concentre sur les plus grands trésors artistiques du Vatican, y compris des sculptures antiques telles que Laocoön et ses fils, l’École d’Athènes de Raphaël et les fresques de la chapelle Sixtine de Michel-Ange. Le calendrier du soir donne à la visite une sensation plus calme qu'une visite typique en journée, tandis que votre Guide ajoute la perspicacité historique et artistique qui rend chaque chambre plus facile à apprécier. C'est un choix fort pour les voyageurs qui veulent une visite ciblée des musées du Vatican avec des conseils Experts, une entrée programmée et une finale mémorable de la chapelle Sixtine.

Itinéraire
Retrouvez votre Guide près de l'entrée des musées du Vatican. Vous trouverez le point de rendez-vous exact sur votre bon de réservation, et votre Guide vous donnera un aperçu rapide avant l'entrée du groupe dans les musées en début de soirée.
Continuez jusqu’au musée Pio-Clementino, qui abrite certaines des sculptures antiques les plus importantes du Vatican. Admirez des œuvres telles que le Belvédère Apollon, Laocoön et ses fils, le Torse du Belvédère et la baignoire antique massive de Néron pendant que votre Guide explique leurs mythes et leur influence.
Ensuite, découvrez les meilleures galeries du Vatican avec votre Guide Expert. Visitez les galeries Candélabres, Tapisseries et Cartes. Admirez les statues romaines et grecques antiques, les tapisseries flamandes et les spectaculaires cartes topographiques commandées par le pape Grégoire XIII. Votre Guide révélera les histoires derrière ces trésors au fur et à mesure que les secrets du Vatican vous seront dévoilés. Entrez ensuite dans les salles Raphaël pour voir la célèbre fresque de Raphaël, L'École d'Athènes, et d'autres chefs-d'œuvre.
Terminez votre visite dans la chapelle Sixtine, où le silence est de rigueur. Avant d’entrer, votre Guide vous explique les fresques du plafond et le Jugement dernier de Michel-Ange, afin que vous sachiez ce qu’il faut chercher pendant votre temps libre dans la chapelle. À l'intérieur, vous serez hypnotisé par le nombre de figurines peintes par Michel-Ange, plus de 600 ! Ce chef-d’œuvre témoigne non seulement de son talent, mais sert aussi de lieu de rassemblement pour les cardinaux de l’Église catholique. La fin parfaite d'une visite incroyable.

Lots of walking. Not too many of the areas are air conditioned. Excellent information. Best for older kids.
I have been on three Vatican tours and this one was the best! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and funny. She kept my seven year old engaged the entire 2 hours!
The guide never showed up. We had one chance to visit, so that's why we booked the tour we did. The tour guy company did answer the phone, so that was cool, and a refund was arranged. But we were unable to see the Sistine chapel.
Note: the evening tour does not include St. Peter’s Basilica. You will have to plan ahead and go there on your own before this tour as you will not finish the tour before the basilica closes. This is nothing against the tour, they make that clear. I just want others to know to communicate more effectively than I apparently did to everyone in your group so you don’t disappoint people. The Tour- this tour was great! The guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic which made the whole experience more enjoyable (I am not a museum person. If you are a stop and read every plaque and look at EVERY piece in the museum type person, just know you will have time to do that at the end on your own. There is a lot of ground to cover and this tour will give you the highlights.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback, Stephanie! We are so glad that our enthusiastic guide made the Vatican highlights enjoyable even for a non-museum person. Catching the galleries during the evening tour offers such a unique atmosphere, and we truly appreciate you helping us remind future travelers that St. Peter's Basilica closes early and requires a separate visit. We would love to host you again on another adventure, so please share your great experience and tell your friends and family about traveling with The Tour Guy!
It took us an hour and we didn't even get close to the museum. It was a huge waste of time! We would have been better off going on our own.
Hi Marina, thank you for sharing your feedback. We want to clarify that our Vatican Evening Tour is specifically designed to go directly inside the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel. Please note that this specific evening itinerary does not include St. Peter's Basilica, which is why we want to make sure there was no misunderstanding regarding the route. Our guides are dedicated to getting everyone through security and into the galleries as efficiently as possible, as going independently often means facing much longer general admission lines. Please contact us at support@thetourguy.com so we can gather further details about your experience and get this resolved.
So amazing!! Loved our guide! The place is beautiful
Short and incredibly sweet! We are absolutely thrilled that you loved our guide and found the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel so beautiful under the evening lights. It truly is a magical time to visit. Next time you are catching up with friends and family, tell them they need to check out The Tour Guy for their own travel plans! We can't wait to see you on another adventure soon.
This is a great option to see some of the highlights in the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel. It was less busy than it would be at other times of the day. Our guide Stephano was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He handled our group through the museum like a pro. The headset made it easy to hear him. It was a slightly rushed tour but that was fine with us because we only wanted an overview.
Hi Kirsten, thank you for leaving us a review. We are so glad you enjoyed the evening atmosphere at the Vatican and that Stephano made your experience so memorable with his enthusiasm and expertise. Visiting during the quieter evening hours really is a great way to take in the main highlights without the heavy daytime crowds. We appreciate you choosing to tour with us and hope you had a wonderful rest of your trip to Rome.
Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She picked out all the amazing details in the most important works of art.
Hi Nicole, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We are delighted to hear that you had such an excellent experience on our Vatican Evening Tour. The Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel contain an overwhelming amount of history, so it is wonderful to know that your guide’s enthusiasm and deep knowledge helped highlight the most amazing details within the key masterworks. Exploring these sacred spaces in the evening offers a unique atmosphere, and we are glad she made it so memorable for you. I will be very happy to pass along your compliments to your guide. Thank you for choosing to explore the Vatican with us!
This was a once in a lifetime tour. I can’t even begin to describe how special it was being the only people in the entire museum. It was literally only our one small group of maybe 10 people plus our guide and one security guard to escort us through the museum and the Sistine Chapel. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone seeking a more peaceful experience.
Maria was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. There is so much to see in a very short period of time and having a guide like Maria gives you the opportunity to see and understand the highlights. Going in the late afternoon also means it’s a bit cooler and slightly less crowded. It was a very worthwhile experience and one of the highlights from our time in Rome.
