Exclusive Private Tour: Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica
Private entry at the Vatican is always a special experience. Even our seasoned guides who have seen it countless times appreciate the opportunity to admire art in this setting. You may be surprised to learn that the Vatican oversees over 6 million visitors each year, so entering alone can soon prove to be an overwhelming and painful ordeal.-We recommend reserving this private tour with us to customize your experience for you and you family.
We promise that this family/child-friendly setting will satisfy ever member of your group (our guides are known to keep the little ones intrigued!) Should we also mention Michelangelo’s frescoed ceilings of the Sistine Chapel?? This beautiful masterpiece needs no introduction.No line = no stress! (not to mention that you get to steer clear of the sun and unbearable heat during the summer months!)-We offer two time slots for this private tour experience (morning or afternoon).
