About the tour


Explore the Vatican Museums at your own pace with a private guide exclusively for you and your group. Take your time in front of masterpieces by Michelangelo and Raphael, asking all the questions you desire during this once-in-a-lifetime trip to Vatican City.

With the fastest skip-the-line access available, your guide manages all logistics, allowing you to focus on savoring the experience. Begin your visit by stepping through the turnstiles onto a vast terrace overlooking St. Peter's blue dome. Your guide will lead you through highlights such as the Pinecone Courtyard, The Gallery of the Candelabra and the Maps, Raphael's Rooms, the Sistine Chapel, and more. If you have special requests, inform your insider guide for a tailored tour to match your interests.

The pinnacle of your visit is the Sistine Chapel. Following your private tour, linger until closing time to fully absorb this unique experience.

At the conclusion of your tour, you will enjoy skip-the-line access to St. Peter's Basilica, excluding Wednesdays and special events.

Nothing but good things to say

I have nothing but good things to say about this tour Martina was an EXCELLANT tour guide and made sure we had enough time to see everything and make sure my mom was taken care as she is in a wheelchair I would 100 recommend this tour and Martina to anyone who asks as I dont think we would have had half the experience that we were able to have if we did this on our own Hopefully when we book again next year Martina is still touring as I would love to have her again to meet my family
