Skip hours of notorious lines outside the Vatican and see wonders like the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel on this private Vatican skip-the-line tour. Our expert guide will walk you through the history and insights of these masterpieces. This is more than a guided visit–it is an awe-inspiring emotional experience you’re bound to remember forever.
Join an early morning tour of the Vatican and step inside before the general public. With priority entry, you’ll be among the first to explore the Vatican Museums—home to some of the greatest masterpieces of Western art.
Guided by an expert in art and religion, you’ll walk through the Gallery of Tapestries, the striking Gallery of Maps, and the Raphael Rooms, where the iconic School of Athens awaits. Your private guide will share rich insights into the history, symbolism, and genius behind each work.
The experience culminates in the Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo’s Creation of Adam and The Last Judgment leave a lasting impression. As explanations aren’t allowed inside, your guide will brief you beforehand—then you’ll enjoy 15 minutes of quiet time to admire the chapel’s sacred beauty at your own pace.
A unique and intimate journey through the heart of Catholicism and Renaissance art.
Tiptoe through the Greek Cross Gallery to see elaborately-carved sarcophagi that might just contain the earthly remains of some of antiquity’s famous kings and queens! Peek at the Cabinet of the Masks, or tour the Sala degli Animali to see a virtual menagerie of fantastic beasts, real and imagined. Walk the Upper Galleries, including the Gallery of Maps, to see how cartographers depicted the world through the ages. See masterpieces by Renaissance masters in the Raphael Rooms, and rest for a while in the Borgia Apartments.
Then, it’s time to marvel at Michelangelo’s exquisite Sistine Chapel, the crown jewel of the Vatican, and perhaps even of all the world’s art treasures.
