Overview
One of the best ways to discover the Sistine Chapel, the Raphael Rooms and the other masterpieces of the Vatican Museums is a tour during the evening hours around sunset. Only rarely are the Vatican Museums open at this unusual hour, when the magic light of evening twinkles off countless masterpieces as your expert guide brings them vividly to life. The crowds are smaller at the Museums during the special summer late openings. The highlight of our tour is the Sistine Chapel, the pope’s private chapel spectacularly decorated by Michelangelo’s frescoes – they look at their mind-blowing best at this hour, and you’ll be able to fully appreciate the great artist’s achievement in the blissful cool of evening with the help of the knowledge of Through Eternity’s expert and friendly guide. Experience another side of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel by booking a place on our special Vatican Night tour, available every Friday and Saturday during the Summer months!

What To Expect
Sistine Chapel
Seeing Michelangelo’s awe-inspiring frescoes with your own eyes is an unforgettable experience, and the experience will be enriched even further by the explanations of your guide. Learn about the remarkable life and work of Michelangelo, one of the greatest artists of all time, while studying the rich detail of the most famous ceiling in the world. On your private tour of the Sistine Chapel you’ll have the opportunity to admire the paintings up close, and hear the story behind the Last Judgement. This vast painting on the altar wall was surprisingly controversial when it was first revealed, for reasons you’ll discover on your private tour. With the help of your knowledgeable guide, you’ll separate fact from fiction and learn the truth about Michelangelo’s masterpiece.
