Vaticaan en Vatacomben Tour: Schatten van de Sixtijnse Kapel
Beschrijving
Geniet van skip-the-line toegang tot wat misschien wel de belangrijkste en grootste kunstcollectie ter wereld is. Meer dan vijfhonderd jaar lang gaven pausen kunstwerken aan de meest getalenteerde schilders en beeldhouwers om in het Vaticaan te genieten in een elitekring van geestelijken, edelen en geleerden. Treed in de voetsporen van pausen en renaissancemeesters terwijl je de kamers van Raphael en de Sixtijnse Kapel bewondert, van de ingebruikname tot de afwerking door niemand minder dan Michelangelo Buonarroti. Leer met een deskundige gids onderscheid te maken tussen mythe, feit en populaire Hollywood-fictie over dit epische kunstwerk. Krijg snelle toegang tot de Sint-Pietersbasiliek om meesterwerken van onder andere Michelangelo, Raphael en Bernini te bekijken, voordat je afdaalt naar de pauselijke crypten eronder. We eindigen op de portiek met een overzicht van Bernini's prachtige piazza (Sint-Pietersplein), de centrale obelisk en de beroemde Zwitserse Garde.

Chiara was my guide and she was awesome; she kept the tour interesting. There is quite a bit of walking even though it's an expedited tour (which is good because it would take weeks to see everything). A/C isn't available so be prepared in summer months for it to be hot and crowded.
My family had a wonderful time on our tour of the Vatican. Marianne is a great tour guide! She was very knowledgeable, made sure everyone stayed together & had a good time and spoke English very well. Booking the tour with our ItaliaPass was easy and they gave us good information about where to meet & what to wear (special rules for what to wear to churches). I would definitely recommend ItaliaPass!
We loved visiting the Vatican and, given the crowds and heat, the Italia Tours lounge was well worth the tour from the start. Given we were there during the weekend of Pentecost, crowds were especially large. People without “skip the line” access were waiting over four hours to enter! Please be aware this is basically a march through to the Sistine Chapel. There are certainly spotlight items along the way but everyone - not just those with this tour- pass the galleries and move towards the chapel. The ear pieces were perfect for keeping up with the guide while still being able to pause for our desired pictures. Given the special services, we were not able to access several areas of the vatacombs and chapels. Sabrina did a great job educating us and sharing many fantastic art pieces with us!
Highly recommend this tour. The guide, Sandra, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The Vatican was extremely busy and we were grateful that our tickets were already purchased and gave us skip the line access. Italitours had amazing support and were always accessible through what’s app and email. I highly recommend it. The primo membership pass was well well worth it and in our few days in Rome we managed to make use of a number of benefits.
The cost is worth it! The end of the tour in the catacombs when you go up the stairs is breathtaking. The tour is great. This was our first trip to Rome and we would take this tour again. There is so much too see.
It is fantastic. Best experience you will ever have. We used ItaliaTours to see the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, Saint Peter’s Basilica, and The Colosseum so far. Our tour guide for the Vatican was Massimo and he is superb, very friendly and helpful. Luigi was our guide for The Colosseum and he is amazing, just like Massimo he was so gracious and very intelligent. We have learned so much and would not trade it for anything. I am very grateful that we got to experience these attractions like this. We have the Accademia Gallery next to tour and I cannot wait to get these kind of experience again!
Highly recommend the Italia Pass! It was super easy to use and book tours and train tickets, and was an amazing value! Lots of great tours and tickets to sites included. Tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly! The Vatican tour with Massimo was amazing and definitely worth it!
Massimo was a fabulous tour guide. He explained and enunciated in English very well. It was a very interesting tour.
Chiara was an amazing tour guide and Italia Tours is lucky to have her on their team. She is friendly, comedic, and personable and made the tour both informative and fun. If I were to book another tour, I would specifically want Chiara as my tour guide again. It was a pleasure meeting her and the tour went over such beautiful areas of the Vatican.
Great tour. I had injured my knee the previous day, and our tour guide made sure I could keep up. He even found me a seat in the Sistine Chapel. The lines were enormous, but our “skip the line” tickets were well worth it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced.
