Vatican: Private Early Morning, Sistine Chapel Raphael Rooms

Good to know

Starting in 2024, the Vatican Museums will discontinue early access for all tour providers, instead opening to the public at 8AM. This tour will then be offered as a first entrance experience, which we recommend for a less crowded, more personalized, and fully guided experience. Access to the Raphael Rooms is contingent upon crowd conditions, timing constraints, and guard-regulated routes. Including them may not always be feasible. In these cases, your tour guide will exercise discretion to adjust the itinerary, ensuring a high-quality experience. Due to new health and safety regulations, the Vatican currently opens half an hour later at 8:30 AM. By arriving 30 minutes before the Vatican doors open, you can get into the museums first and directly proceed to the Raphael Rooms and the Sistine Chapel before the crowds, and enjoy them with as few people as possible.

Amazing!

Chiara è stata una guida impeccabile, appassionata e con un’ampissima conoscenza dei musei e della storia dell’arte. L’itinerario è della lunghezza giusta per godersi i punti salienti dei musei.

Amazing!

The private tour for us as a couple was totally worth it! In addition to the highlights of the Sistine Chapel and Raphael's paintings, the empty rooms of the museum were extremely impressive. We later went back to parts of the exhibition and because there were so many people, it was difficult to take a closer look at many of the works of art - let alone take photos of them... Thanks to the 'quick tour' with only a brief mention of the highlights, we were in the Sistine Chapel before the crowds arrived and were able to take in Michelangelo's paintings in peace. Our guide Veronica was very responsive to our questions and interests. I would recommend this tour - or another tour before the official ticket office opens - to anyone!
