With this Skip-the-line private Vatican tour, you will have the time and flexibility to experience areas of the Vatican Museums, such as how long you want to spend inside the Sistine Chapel or St. Peter’s Basilica - all in a way and at a pace that suits you. Having your own personal guide means you will set the agenda for your tour. This Vatican Tour promises to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Sites visited include the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica and St. Peter's Square.

Vatican Museum

Your private tour starts with skip-the-line access to the Vatican Museum. You will be able to pass the general access lines where people often wait for several hours. You will have the chance to explore places such as the Pinecone Courtyard, the Hall of Maps, the Gallery of Tapestries, the Gallery of the Candelabra and the incredible Raphael Rooms. Your guide will bring these halls and works of art to life by telling you stories about the artists behind the masterpieces and pointing out important details you could miss on your own.

Sistine Chapel

Experience the Sistine Chapel like no one else. You will be able to have an enriching experience with your personal guide. They will point out all the details and give richness to the experience by sharing with you history you may not know. For example, Michelangelo’s boneless self-portrait he painted was to express that he would rather be skinned alive than paint the Sistine Chapel again. As incredible as his work is, it was a backbreaking feat of willpower – a fact you will understand after learning what it takes to create a fresco.

St. Peter’s Basilica

With skip-the-line access, you will also go to St. Peter’s Basilica through a VIP entrance. Here you will see the incredible altar and marvel at Michelangelo’s beautiful sculpture, La Pietà, before heading outside for a tour of St. Peter’s Square. Your guided tour finishes here, but you have the option to see and explore more! You can admire Bernini’s clever optical illusion, spot the balcony where the Pope delivers his public addresses and take scenic photographs.

You can't really visit the Vatican without somebody knowledgeable who can point out important items, explain the history and knows where to go. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and is definitely the best way to see this amazing place.

The tour was great! We had a private tour with Pino and he did a wonderful job. He spent so much time giving us little details we would not have gotten otherwise.
