What you can expect

You control your Vatican experience on this private tour. With only your small group, a dedicated guide, and No-Wait Access through a special Partner Entrance, there’s plenty of time to follow your nose and uncover the stories within. Seek out sights you really want to see, dwell longer in areas with lots to take in, and ask questions to your heart’s content – making the most of your guide’s considerable Vatican expertise.

You’ll begin your tour by breezing past the notoriously long lines and through an exclusive Vatican Partner Entrance – giving you more time to experience the Vatican Museums’ many masterpieces.

The tour takes in the Gallery of Maps, with its delicately gilded ceiling, the world-famous Raphael Rooms, and much more. You’ll see famous works alongside forgotten relics, medieval maps and ancient sculptures, each with its own storey, before heading to the jewel in the Vatican’s crown: the Sistine Chapel.

Here, your guide will provide a richer perspective on Michelangelo’s legendary frescos, pointing out easily missed details like the painful punishments the artist painted for his enemies, and the personal message he left for the Pope.

After you’ve had plenty of time to experience the Sistine Chapel, avail of Skip the Line Access directly into St. Peter’s Basilica. This vast and sumptuously decorated space holds even more stunning masterpieces, including Michelangelo’s ‘La Pietà’.
