The Quickest Direct Access Private Vatican Tour

Absolutely amazing tour guide!!! She was so patient and helpful. Very enthusiastic and entertaining tour!!!

Wonderfully knowledgeable and personable tour guide

This was a wonderful tour. We waited only in a short line and then went right in to the museum. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept things interesting for our 11 year old as well. She was fun and taught us a lot about the Vatican. Highly recommend.

Great tour

Only way to tour the Vatican is a private tour!!! Enjoyed the experience so much!! Thank you Ruggero!!

Excellent tour! Grazie Mille!

Maria was a great guide

We could tell from the beginning that Maria was not only a great guide but that she loved talking about her church. So much great information. All guides should be like her.

Incredible Tour!

Absolutely perfect way to tour the Vatican, St.Peters, and the museums. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and has been doing this for years. We were able to skip lines, go through special entrances and enter earlier than most. This is the only way to see and experience the Vatican and St.Peter’s Basilica! It was just our group of four and the guide. Can’t say enough good things about our morning here!!

Private tour

Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all questions we had. She knew a lot of things that was know just normal tourist information. We had some mobility problems walking slowly. She never rushed us and was so very patient and sweet. She told us every step of the way what we were seeing and what we would do next. It felt like our own VIP personal tour. Very special thanks to our guide!

Amazing tour!!!

We booked a quick tour because we didn’t know how much time we needed in the museum. If you are on a time crunch this was such an amazing tour. Marina (I’m pretty sure that’s her name) was amazing and very knowledgeable. It was very personalized being a private tour. She also spent extra time with us to show us another area that wasn’t even part of the original tour. Great experience.

Vatican tour amazing!

Our tour guide went above and beyond! She was passionate about the subject matter and delivered a ton of information in just a perfect way!

Excellent experience!

This 8:00AM tour was such a wonderful experience, from beginning to end. Our tour guide, Raffaella, not only made us feel like VIPs but also graciously toured us through the Vatican museums, educating us on important history and art, making certain we got the best vantage points for our photos, all the while with a beautiful smile and a friendly attitude. She even provided photos to further describe other important but relevant pieces of art not housed at the Vatican museums. We learned so much about, how “everything is connected!”This tour was for 4 people and it was worth every penny. We felt fortunate not to have to wait in the long lines, and also not to be in a large tour group. Lastly, navigating the the huge Vatican museums without a guide would have been overwhelming. With Raffaella as our tour guide we were taken through to the top spots by an expert. She was excellent. Thank you!

rushed

we felt rushed throughout our tour. our tour guide looked at her phone numerous times and it felt like she was watching the time. we enjoyed the content of the tour but felt we could of learned more if we were not rushed.

Fantastic Tour and Great To Beat The Crowds

Francesca made our tour enjoyable, fun, informative and wow. We only had 2 days in Rome so this tour was perfect for us being about 2.5 hrs in duration. We bypassed the main queues had aspects of the museum almost to ourselves and were able to move around the Sistine Chapel will ease without the throngs of crowds and hassles of not having enough room to see. The passage to St Peter's also meant we could skip the line and see all that was on offer without rushing. Thanks for sharing the symbolism, history and religious stories behind what we were seeing and for recommending we climb the dome while it was quiet. We had time to see some amazing views and have lunch before heading on to our afternoon tours. I would highly recommend this tour.

Brilliant Tour Very Engaging and Great To Beat The Crowds

Greeted with a warm welcome and expertise Francesca got to work immediately sharing her knowledge and preparing us for the tour. Coming at 7.45 am meant the queues were very short and most of the museum areas had very few people let alone crowds. We saw great artworks, learnt the history, symbology and religious backgrounds and got to enjoy the Sistine Chapel without the crush, being able to wander and take things in at our leisure. The private access passageway into St Peter's again allowed us to bypass the queues and enjoy our tour without the hassle of large crowds. The tour was the right length for us at just over 2 hours as we were only in Rome for 2 days. This gave us time afterwards to climb the dome of St Peter's to capture amazing views from the highest point in Rome and take a leisurely early lunch before heading off on another tour in the afternoon. We enjoyed Francesca's stories and sense of humour and how she brought the Sistine Chapel to life with the tales of the hidden messages in the art which made it a wonderful experience for us.

Private Vatican Tour

We had a marvelous tour of the Vatican. Our guide was most knowledgable. She interjected information about history, culture, art, archeology, and all of the details of each piece that we studied. My husband and I were thoroughly fascinated by all that we observed and learned. She was magnificent! It was well worth the price to have a private tour. We are still talking about our experience weeks after the tour.
