Med vår Prime Tour får vi dig in i museerna vid första tillträdet. Se Vatikanens museumsgallerier sakta komma till liv.
Gården i "Pigna", skapad från 1600-talets område av "Belvedere"
Vatikanmuseernas galleri för gobelänger visar fantastiska gobelänger från 1400- och 1500-talet, intrikat vävda med scener från bibliska och historiska berättelser. Inspirerat av design från Rafaels skola framhäver det här galleriet renässansens konstnärliga sofistikering och historieberättande.
Kartgalleriet, inne i Vatikanmuseerna, visar en fantastisk samling topografiska kartor över Italien. Dessa vackert målade kartor skapades på 1500-talet under påven Gregorius XIII och spänner över 120 meter och erbjuder en unik geografisk ögonblicksbild av det förflutnas Italien.
The Gallery of the Candelabra är en del av Vatikanmuseerna och visar upp en rik samling grekiska och romerska statyer, sarkofager och reliefer. Den är uppkallad efter den storslagna marmorkandelabern som pryder den och delar upp galleriet i tematiska sektioner. Galleriet grundades i slutet av 1700-talet och förenar gammal konst med fantastiska arkitektoniska detaljer, vilket ger besökarna en resa genom historia och skönhet.
Det sixtinska kapellet har sitt namn från påven Sixtus IV della Rovere (pontiff från 1471 till 1484) som hade den gamla Cappella Magna restaurerad mellan 1477 och 1480. Den är känd över hela världen både för att vara den plats där konklaven och andra officiella ceremonier av Påven hålls (i det förflutna också några palaiska kronor) och för att vara dekorerad med ett av de mest kända och berömda konstverk av konstnärlig civilisation, är freskerna av Michelangelo.
Njut av den hisnande Sankt Petersborgs Basilika, kristendomen och konstens helgedom. Du kommer att förundra sig på Priceless Pietà, av Michelangelo, och stanna vid den ärafulla graven av Johannes Paul II och Pope Karol Wojtyla. Pietà (1498-1499) är ett renässansskulptur av Michelangelo Buonarroti, inrymt i Peterskyrkan, Vatikanstaten.
Vatikanens nekropolis, under Peterskyrkan, är en gammal kyrkogård från 1000-talet e.Kr., som tros inrymma Petersgraven. Det är en betydande arkeologisk plats, endast tillgänglig genom guidad tur.
Detta monumentala elliptiska utrymme, som omges av 284 doriska kolonner fyra rader djupa (196m breda och 148m långa), är mästerverket av Gian Lorenzo Bernini, som lagde det under pontificaten av Alexander VII och Clement IX.

Pamela was amazing. Her art history is expertise added valuable insights to the Vatican tour. She clearly loves Italian history and art and her enthusiasm is infectious. Highly recommend asking for her!
Pamela will be very proud to read this. Thank you for choosing CityEyes and for recommending her so warmly; knowing her enthusiasm made the Vatican tour even more meaningful is a real compliment. Grazie! Pamela, and the CityEyes Team
Marco was amazing! His knowledge and attention to detail had us engaged the entire time. He knew how to avoid some of the crowds and took us to places that a lot of people don’t realize are even there. He also had great food recommendations and gave us ideas on further areas to explore off the beaten path.
Marco will be very happy to read this. Thank you for choosing CityEyes and for sharing such generous words about him. Grazie! Marco, and the CityEyes Team
Expensive but worth it. Gio was great, we learned so much and would not have understood most of the experience without her. Please be respectful of the location and traditions. It is one of the most incredible places on Earth. The art is unfathomable, and the history like nothing you have ever heard. Wear lightweight coverings, it’s very hot. The experience will take your breath away.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review. It means a lot to know the experience left such a lasting impression, and we'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Gio. Grazie! Gio, and the CityEyes Team
Vatican tour was so good and Katie was the absolute best. Please do yourself a favor and book with Katie. So easy to understand and relate to and passionate about telling the stories of the vatican
Amazing tour and tour guide. My tour guide was so patient with my slow walking and so very helpful. She took time to thoroughly explain what we were seeing. There is so much to see it is a bit overwhelming, but she did a great job and focusing on the key things and explain explaining the history and beauty of it all. Her thoroughness helped with the enjoyment of this tour. She was very considerate asking if I needed to rest or use the facilities several times throughout the tour.If you happen to get Ellie for a tour guide, you are in for a real treat.
Wonderful, Guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and we learned alot. Worth every penny. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that your guide’s knowledge and friendliness made the tour so rewarding, and that you found it well worth the value. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon! Kind regards, The Eyes of Rome Team
The sites are spectacular. My guide Elisse was wonderful. Your customers might want to know that they will be on their feet for almost all the tour.
The Scavi and Vatican tours were absolutely the highlight of our trip to Italy. Our guides, Elisa for the Vatican museums, St. Peter's and the Sistine chapel and Kiran for the Scavi tour, were absolutely excellent. Elisa managed to get us through construction and changing entrance procedures smoothly on a very busy day there, even organizing an impromptu backdoor pickup with our driver when the lay of the land changed. She obviously has good relationships with the Vatican staff which is so helpful and her friendly, warm demeanor was a pleasure for us. She gave us clear instructions and just the right amount of time at each of our stops. The order of sites and timing had to change a bit due to Vatican changes and actually turned out so much better than what we originally planned. Elisa was easy to understand, knowledgeable and so very helpful. We never would have gotten so much out of the visit without her. The Scavi tour with Kiran was an absolutely beautiful experience. She struck a perfect balance between the fascinating archeology and history and the profound religious meaning of the site. Our whole group with varying backgrounds and interests was overcome by the blessing that this experience was. What a gift to employ Kiran in this capacity. We are so very grateful for her knowledge and presentation skills and her ability to convey the full meaning of this once-in-a-lifetime visit. I can't recommend her or the tour more highly!
Ciao Sally, Thank you for your incredible review! We’re thrilled to hear that both Elisa and Kiran made your Scavi and Vatican tours the highlight of your trip. Elisa’s smooth handling of the day’s changes and Kiran’s perfect balance of archaeology, history, and religious significance truly made a difference. We’re grateful for your kind words and high recommendation. We hope to have the pleasure of guiding you again in the future! Arrivederci! Francesca Eyes of Rome Team
I want to start the review with a thanks to Maria, our tour. She was extremely engaging and friendly throughout the tour. She ensured everything went well and we had a good time. She met us at the hotel (pick up was included) and then proceeded to give us a tour as we drove to the Vatican. She was well organized and knew most everyone - making it very quick and easy to get through the various check points/lines with ease. Since this was a very early start (7:20a) we seemingly had a private tour for most of the morning. Many rooms were empty except for us. She explained the history and could answer all of our questions. The Vatican itself was incredible and overall we had an excellent time. We included the Scavi tour as well - which was the one area that while I’m glad I went, I probably wouldn’t do again. This was not an issue with Maria (another guide takes over inside the Necropolis) and it was both long and rather hot/humid underground. If you are claustrophobic, I would be hesitant to recommend this portion of the tour. Still, that part was an incredible piece of history and I’m glad I did it. Back outside, Maria took over and quickly guided us to the Sistine Chapel. We were fortunate on two accounts: the weather was spectacular and the pope was having an audience that day so many special arrangements were happening and the place was buzzing with extra energy. Maria ensured we got to everything we needed to and then assisted us with transportation after we were done (also included). Instead of going back to the hotel, she recommended a few areas and even a lunch place once we decided where to go. Lunch was excellent and we were able to walk around the Piazza Navona area for hours. Highly recommended! Maria is one of the best guides we ever had and made it a great experience. I would also note to have a good breakfast and bring water/water bottle for the tour. You cannot bring much else (cameras/phones/small bags OK) so plan accordingly.
We wer very fortunate to have the services of Barbara De Rosa on our private tour. She was very knowledgeable and explained the various sites in detail. Her English was perfect so we could understand what she was explaining and her sense of humor kept us laughing and interested in what she was saying. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide.
Grazie for such a positive review, it was great to spend time together! The itinerary at the Vatican Museums is a truly extensive one, as in order to access the Sistine Chapel you have to walk through the Museums Galleries and there is so much to take in! Then the tour continues in Saint Peter's Basilica which is the core of catholic Rome and therefore it hosts artpieces, relics and findings full of layered meanings. Making the tour fun other than just educational is the best way to fully enjoy your time! All is great in good company! Barbara
