Description

Step into centuries of art and history on a private guided tour of Vatican City in Italy, where you’ll enjoy skip-the-line access to the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica. Your personal Vatican expert ensures a seamless and enriching experience, answering your questions and tailoring the visit to your interests.

Begin your journey at a welcoming office just steps from the Vatican Museums’ entrance, making it easy to find and stress-free to start your tour. With privileged entry, you’ll bypass the crowds and maximize your time exploring the treasures inside, from ancient sculptures to Renaissance masterpieces.

Marvel at Michelangelo’s iconic frescoes in the Sistine Chapel and take in the breathtaking beauty of the Raphael Rooms and the Gallery of Maps. Your guide will bring each masterpiece to life, providing fascinating insights into the stories and artists behind these world-renowned works.

Conclude your visit in the awe-inspiring St. Peter’s Basilica, where you can admire Michelangelo’s Pietà and Bernini’s grand Baldachin. Please note, St. Peter’s Basilica is an active church and may close unexpectedly for religious events, in which case your tour will be extended within the Vatican Museums.

This private tour lasts approximately three hours and is available in English or Spanish for groups of up to eight people. Dress modestly to respect religious sites, and arrive at the meeting point 15 minutes early to ensure a smooth start. Secure your spot now and experience the Vatican like never before—availability is limited!

Please note that 2025 is the Jubilee year, closures of St. Peter's Basilica can happen anytime without further notice. No refunds are recognized for unexpected closures.
Your tour voucher is valid only for the day and time reserved. We’re unable to accommodate late arrivals due to a strictly timed entrance ticket to the Vatican Museums. Missed tours or tickets due to late arrivals are non-refundable. Please allow extra time to reach the meeting point as Rome's streets can be confusing.
