Strict dress code is applicable at the Vatican. No shorts; shoulders and knees must be covered. Do Odyssey Tours clients get to bypass the lines? During peak season we have specifally set our group tour time at 12:20pm as this is when entrance waiting is at its least. On most days the tour enters directly into the museums without waiting at all. However on some days there could be a short wait to pass through the obligatory security check (like at airports). During peak season note that on Saturdays the line time is inevitable (except by booking a private tour in advance) and some waiting is to be anticipated.

With almost 2,000 rooms in the Vatican Museum, it is estimated that if you spend 60 seconds in front of every item, it would take approximately 12 years! Allow us to present the highlights from the world’s greatest collection of art including the Rooms of Raphael, the Belvedere Courtyard, Gallery of the Maps, Gallery of the Tapestries etc culminating with a visit in the magnificent Sistine Chapel.

You will be given a full understanding of the work throughout the museum but especially of the work by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel.

You may see many sites in Rome, but none will leave you with such a feeling of awe as the majesty and grandeur of the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museum.
