Description

Enjoy a private tour of the Vatican. You can be among the first to enter into the Museums, with access in the early morning.
Take advantage of your provate guide and enjoy the Raphael Rooms and the Sistine Chapel viewing.

Explore the highlights of the papal palace, from the Greek statues of the Lacoon to the Tapestries and the exquisite Raphael Rooms. Tailor your visit to include the aspects of the collections you want to see, whether in the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, or St. Peter’s Basilica.

Your personal guide will not only enlighten you with the Vatican’s fascinating history, but share bits of papal gossip and little-known stories about the popes and artists represented.

Good to know before you go
  • The Basilica may close without notice for private events; tours will continue with extended visits elsewhere.
  • Access to the Raphael Rooms depends on crowd levels, timing, and guard routes; if unavailable, guides will adjust.
  • 2025 Jubilee: Basilica closures may occur; tours will adapt with alternative highlights, maintaining full quality and duration. No refunds for Basilica closures (per Terms & Conditions).
  • For mobility needs or complimentary access, please inform our team.
