Overview

A private tour at the Vatican Museums is highly recommended due to the crowd that everyday visits the old galleries and collections. With a private tour of 3 hours we will skip the long lines and you will able to move to areas that are less beaten by big groups and also visit the highlights such as the Sistine Chapel and Saint Peter's Basilca. The tour can start early in the morning but also in the afternoon when the pressure of tourists is fading.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
