What to expect
This private Vatican and Sistine Chapel tour is an opportunity for you to explore one of the world's largest and important art collections with a personal Vatican expert guide.
Your 3-hour experience begins by entering through the Vatican's VIP entrance and skipping the lines outside – letting you get started immediately.
The guide will customize this Vatican visit to your preferences. You can take in all of the Papal palace highlights and explore the rooms of the Vatican Museums that interest you most.
You’ll hear about the Vatican’s fascinating history, some bits of gossip, and little-known stories about popes and artists. A highlight of the tour is the Sistine Chapel, one of the greatest examples of Michelangelo's artistic genius.
The visit culminates with VIP access directly into St. Peter's Basilica (skipping another long line) for an awe-inspiring guided tour of the largest and most ornate church in the world.
