Private Vatican After-Hours: Sistine Chapel by Candlelight

Step inside the Sistine Chapel after the public crowds have gone, with a private art historian guiding you beneath Michelangelo's ceiling in near-silence. An utterly unrepeatable Roman bucket-list moment.

What to expect

Your PhD-level guide meets you at the Vatican gates at dusk. With no crowds, you linger as long as you wish beneath the Last Judgment and the Creation of Adam. The tour continues through the Raphael Rooms with champagne aperitivo to close. Transfers by private Mercedes minivan are included.
