Itinéraire
En petit groupe, vous admirerez d'anciennes sculptures égyptiennes, grecques et romaines, vous émerveillerez devant les chefs-d'œuvre de la Renaissance de Michel-Ange et Raphaël et vous admirerez le joyau de la couronne du Vatican: la chapelle Sixtine. Le matin est la période la plus occupée de la journée au Vatican, nous éviterons donc les messes du matin en visitant en fin d'après-midi. Soit moi, soit l'un de mes coéquipiers enthousiastes organisera une visite complète de la chapelle Sixtine et de la collection d'art du pape, donnant des informations amusantes, pertinentes et intéressantes en cours de route. Nous accorderons également du temps libre pour l'exploration et les photos. Après la chapelle Sixtine, nous prendrons l'entrée arrière de Saint-Pierre, uniquement ouverte aux visiteurs avec un guide agréé. Cette entrée arrière nous permet d'éviter les énormes lignes de sécurité à l'extérieur de la basilique Saint-Pierre. St. Peter's est la plus grande église du monde et le centre de la religion pour les catholiques, alors nous nous assurerons de lui donner le temps qu'elle mérite. Au cours de notre visite, nous irons dans certaines des chapelles latérales les moins visitées, qui comprennent des sculptures de Michel-Ange, des peintures de Raphaël et même les corps exposés de papes décédés. Nous terminerons la visite dans la basilique Saint-Pierre, où vous aurez la possibilité d'explorer ses cryptes bordées de tombes de nombreux papes (visite gratuite) et le temps de l'auto-exploration.
La chapelle Sixtine est d'une beauté étonnante et nous lui donnerons le temps qu'elle mérite. Votre guide vous fournira une explication approfondie des fresques du chef-d'œuvre de Michel-Ange à l'avance (pas de discussion dans la chapelle Sixtine), afin que vous sachiez ce que vous voyez à l'avance, vous pourrez ensuite l'apprécier en personne. Nous prendrons une sortie «guides uniquement» de la chapelle vers la basilique Saint-Pierre, ce qui nous fera gagner des heures en ligne.

Horrible Experience. They canceled our tour 1 1/2 hours before the tour was to start.
Be warned that this operator booked another operator to run the tour for them. They didn’t book it under our bar which cause a lot of confusion. They mark the tour up and then bought a cheaper option to provide the tour to us. Would not recommend using this company at all. The tour itself was fine.
Enrico is an excellent guide for adults who want to take a deep dive into the history. He has a very soft voice so earpieces/microphone would be of benefit. He is very knowledgeable and kind.
Brent is a passionate guide, we could ask anything and he showed us the most beautiful places - very exciting! Highly recommended.
Wow, to go on a tour with such a knowledgeable and charismatic guide was a fantastic experience. Raffa O was such a wonderful guide taking the time to explain many aspects of the Vatican with detail I never would have expected. Despite having a broken foot she never skipped an opportunity to make our tour first class. If you have the chance, book a tour, you will be very happy
I booked an 8:30 tour with this company, and was extremely disappointed. We had an 8:30 reservation, which they randomly and inexplicably changed to 11:30. We were there at 11:30, but the tour had already left. At no place in their literature did they tell us to be at the Vatican earlier. We will cancel payment on this tour! Do not book with them—they are unreliable. City Wonders left a very bad taste for my family. Very disappointed to have wasted so much time with them.
Hello, We are not City Wonders. Sorry to hear about your bad experience, but you have left your review on the wrong company page. Please remove when you see this, thanks. Customer Service, Atlas
We were met by our guide Alfredo at the exact spot and we were sent a text and email confirmation of the whole tour (although I didn’t see it till the end of the tour. Confirmation would have been better a little earlier but that didn’t matter in the end) We got super lucky to have Alfredo all to ourselves and luckily the tour went ahead for which we were extremely grateful as some of our other tours got cancelled due to low numbers. Our guide was so informative and very patient. He gave us more time than he needed to and he made our trip to this most wonderful place totally memorable. Thank you so much for the insight into the history and culture.
I had the best guide in Christine. Wonderful style that grips you and opens your mind to this wonderful world of religious renaissance art history. Loved it.
We had a small group tour (5 people) with a fun guide named Luigi who new everything about the Vatican, and seemed to be a local hero. Every guard and person we passed knew him, it was like being with a celebrity. The Vatican is stunningly beautiful, and we went at a great pace to see everything of importance, take photos, but not feel rushed or overwhelmed. Thanks again to Atlas Tours and Luigi!
We really enjoyed this tour. So relieved to skip the queue on arrival as it was huge. Alessandra was a fabulous guide who is clearly so passionate and knowledgeable about her subject . She told us so many fascinating things about the Vatican and Sistine Chapel and answered all our questions. She also had a wonderful sense of humour which made the whole Vatican experience unforgettable. Would highly recommend this tour.
