ABOUT YOUR VATICAN NIGHT SMALL GROUP TOUR

“We truly enjoyed the “after hours” Vatican
night tour. The group was very small (only
4 other people) and we could ask all the
questions we wanted. The guide was very
knowledgeable and answered them all
patiently. It was also nice to visit the Vatican
by night, it was not as hot or crowded.”
– John, Toronto, Canada

Our Vatican night tour covers all of the highlights of the Vatican Museums’ impressive collection. You will marvel at the great Greek and Roman statues of antiquity. Delight in the colorful and richly decorated Raphael Rooms, once apartments of Pope Julius II, the same pope that commissioned Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel. Listen carefully to the stories of the impressive Gallery of Maps, wall-to-wall topographical depictions of Italy as seen through the designs of Ignazio Danti. See the impressive hand-woven tapestries in the Gallery of the Tapestries, with visual effects which will leave you speechless.

Your LivItaly tour guide will amaze you with stories about the history of the Vatican and the battles between the artists. Renaissance geniuses created great artwork and great rivalry. Learn about the symbols and the meanings behind some of the most famous of the 70,000 works of art that the Vatican Museums hold. In addition, you will get to hear the juicy gossip about the Popes who lived in this splendor and the stories contained within the walls.

“I took the Vatican night tour with Luca
from LivItaly Tours. He has such a lively
personality that the whole museum and
Sistine Chapel seemed to come alive
through his words.”
– Annika, Shaker Heights, Ohio

Your Vatican Night Small Group Tour culminates at Michelangelo’s masterpiece, the Sistine Chapel. There are few words to describe the mystic beauty which resonates throughout this room in the evening light

END YOUR TOUR WITH ST PETERS AT NIGHT
This Vatican Night Tour allows you plenty of time to admire the inspiring ceiling and the Last Judgment fresco on the back wall. Since the sun has set you will have the unique opportunity to admire details that cannot be seen during the day. After you have fully appreciated this masterpiece your tour guide will accompany you out of the Sistine Chapel, loop through the hallways of the Vatican and exit onto St. Peter’s Square. What a glorious site this square is at night! Take a moment to admire the larger than life facade of St. Peter’s Basilica in the mild summer evening air. Enjoy the grand finale as your LivItaly tour guide tells you some final anecdotes of the greatest and largest church in all of Roman Catholicism.

ABOUT OUR 6 PEOPLE SMALL GROUP POLICY
When you book a LivItaly Small Group Tour, you are guaranteed one tour guide per group of 6 people. Please bear in mind though that in order to accommodate traveling families and friends, we do on rare occasion make the exception of adding an additional one to two guests in order not to split groups who are traveling together. On that same note, you may find yourself on tour with less than six people. As we accept bookings in multiples of six, math doesn’t always work in our favor to help accommodate individual travelers and their families when on the same tour, so we hope you understand and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

SAFETY REGULATIONS
LivTours’ group size of max 6 participants is and always has been based on sustainable travel and especially in these new times, we are proud to be at the forefront of the innovation, changes, and challenges that are presented to us during this post-pandemic time. At the moment, due to COVID-19 safety regulations, the museums and sites visited on this tour require wearing a mask while on the site. Please bring one for every participant over 6 years of age.

Livitaly - Two Thumbs up!

An unqualified recommendation for Livitaly. Three tours and all were extraordinary. In Rome and Venice, my otherwise not so adventurous wife loved the early morning jogging tours. They may have been the highlight of our trip for her. In Rome,… read more
