Exclusive Private Tour: Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s Basilica

Why choose this Rome tour ?

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.
