Explore the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel with a licensed guide dedicated exclusively to your private group. Discover ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, richly decorated galleries, and masterpieces from the Vatican’s collections.
Reserved entry allows you to avoid the ticket-purchase line. All visitors must still pass through mandatory security checks, and the museums may be crowded.
Your guide explains the Sistine Chapel’s frescoes before you enter, as silence is required inside. Admire Michelangelo’s ceiling and The Last Judgment during your visit. Photography and filming are not permitted in the chapel.
When Vatican access is available, continue to St. Peter’s Basilica to admire its monumental interior and Michelangelo’s Pietà. Basilica access is not included for tours starting after 4:00 PM and may be restricted by Vatican authorities.
The private format gives your group dedicated attention and time for questions. The tour is available in English, French, Italian, and Spanish, and families are welcome.
