Vatican Gardens + Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel Ticket

At the indicated time, we'll meet on Viale Giulio Cesare and enter the walls of Vatican Hill to discover a real oasis. The Vatican Gardens have been the resting and meditation place of the Popes for centuries. Would you like to discover them?

You'll spend around 45 minutes on a minibus exploring this hidden paradise in the smallest state in the world. Fortifications, grottoes and idyllic fountains await!

As we drive through the Vatican Gardens, we'll discover English woodlands, Italian gardens and French flowerbeds in an impressive mix of architectural and natural styles. We'll also pass by the Casina of Pius IV, a masterpiece of Mannerist architecture and the current seat of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. With the help of your English audio guide, you'll discover all the secrets these gardens hide!

Once we've seen the Vatican Gardens, we'll part ways and you'll be able to visit the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel on your own.

When you step inside, you'll behold the greatest collection of art in the Roman Catholic Church. You'll admire the frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo's masterpiece, and see where papal coronations are held.

la vdd muy bien, la guia es audio guia que te va adando muy biena reseña de los jardines vaticanos, la vdd estan hermosos y super cuidados, y ya los museos vaticanos los haces por tu cuenta, la vdd valio la pena el tour, por que aparte de apreciar los jardines, te evitas la larga fila para los museos vaticanos, que la ves interminable.

El Guía de Civitatis muy puntual en el punto de reunión.. nos llevó al acceso, entramos en menos de 5 mins y nos dejó con personal del Vaticano para hacer recorrido por los Jardines.. los jardines bonitos . Al finalizar , nos dejan en la entrada a los museos y haces el recorrido por los museos TU solo, a tu paso… Los volvería a elegir nada más de ver la fila tan impresionante que saltamos para acceder al Vaticano . Translate this opinion into English.

The Civitatis Guide was very punctual at the meeting point... he took us to the entrance, we entered in less than 5 minutes and left us with Vatican staff to tour the Gardens... the beautiful gardens. At the end, they leave us at the entrance to the museums and you take the tour of the museums alone, at your own pace... I would choose them again just after seeing the impressive line we jumped to access the Vatican. Opinion translated. Show original.

Lo mejor del tour es ahorrarte las colas interminables, porque son interminables eeeh, te montan en un autobús y te vas de vuelta por los jardines, bonito la verdad, pero poco tiempo viendo las cosas. Después te metes a ver museos que son una pasada, pero masificados y no lo disfrutas tanto. Luego viene la parte capilla sixtina.... Empiezas a entrar por pasillos y pasillos con obras de arte pintada que son una pasada total, todo es super bonito, llegas a la capilla no te dejan hacer fotos....... Translate this opinion into English.

The best thing about the tour is avoiding the endless lines, because they are endless, they put you on a bus and you go back through the gardens, really nice, but little time seeing things. Then you go to see museums that are amazing, but they are overcrowded and you don't enjoy it as much. Then comes the Sistine Chapel part.... You start to enter hallways and hallways with painted works of art that are totally amazing, everything is super beautiful, you get to the chapel they don't let you take photos.......

Excelente tour pero con el tiempo justo para visitar los jardines. Lo mejor es que te saltas la fila para ingresar al museo vaticano. La única observación sería que una vez terminando el tour, aunque te avisan, te dejan solo y sin mayores indicaciones de como continuar. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent tour but with just enough time to visit the gardens. The best thing is that you skip the line to enter the Vatican museum. The only observation would be that once the tour is finished, although they warn you, they leave you alone and without further instructions on how to continue. Opinion translated. Show original.
