Discover Florence
Florence - Firenze - is many things; the heart of Tuscany, a Renaissance jewel, a true city of art. It's home to the Uffizi, one of the oldest museums in the world, and the Accademia, home to one of the most famous statues in the world - David. The incredible Cathedral - Duomo dominates the skyline, with Brunelleschi's fabulous dome - cupola, and Giotto's mighty clock-tower - campanile.

“This was an outstanding tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learned a great deal about the history of the Vatican as we viewed the monuments and various area in the gardens. This tour was the perfect extension to a tour of the Vatican buildings and St. Peter’s.”

“An excellent tour and well worth the two hour tour. Afterwards you can visit the museums, Sistine chapel and the basilica at your own leisure. We spent the whole day at the Vatican and enjoyed the experience. Worth purchasing tour tickets beforehand to miss the massive queues and all the hassle of guides.”

A guided tour of the extensive Vatican gardens and the Sistine Chapel. Starting early morning (Monday to Saturday), subsequent entry into the rest of the Vatican is included in the cost.
This is an official, Vatican-organised tour that in approximately two to three hours takes in much of the gardens and parklands that form more than half of the entire Vatican territory, covering almost 50 acres (20 hectares). The gardens became established during Baroque and Renaissance times, with legend having it that the Vatican gardens were spread with earth brought from Golgotha by Saint Helena. The tour also includes the Gallery of the Candelabra, the Gallery of Maps, the Gallery of Tapestries, and the Sistine Chapel.
Back to Vatican Tours
Overview
The gardens include 3 hectares of woodland, splendid flower beds and topiary, lawns, a labrynth, specimen trees, grottoes and fountains and a range of buildings scattered throughout, from medieval fortifications to the modern-day home of Radio Vatican.
Tours are available 6 days a week (not on Sundays) in English and Italian. They start at either 09.00 or 10.00 in the morning (possibly 10.30 in winter). However, availability is very patchy, and so as not to waste your or our time, and given the slight difference, we will attempt fit you in whenever we're able to - please let us know during checkout if you must have a specific time.
