Overview

Rushing from one artwork to another before you’ve even had the chance to take them in is no way to experience the Vatican. But too many big-group tours do this, which can understandably put people off.

Our small-group Vatican tour gives you the most personalised and affordable experience possible, giving you the time and privacy you need to absorb the Vatican's stunning artworks and fascinating history. And with timed skip-the-line tickets, you can guarantee you won't waste any of your precious time on vacation!

Here's what you can expect:

✩ Skip-the-line priority entrance tickets
✩ An expert, licensed guide who is fluent in their field
✩ A tour that hones in on the highlights of the Vatican’s vast collection
✩ The secrets and stories behind the Vatican and its collection
✩ Timeless artworks by the likes of Raphael, Bernini and Michelangelo
✩ Michelangelo’s masterpiece: the frescoed Sistine Chapel

    Activity name

    City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

    On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
