Overview

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

Our small-group Vatican tour gives you the most personalised and affordable experience possible, and makes sure you have more than enough time and privacy to soak up the stunning artworks and fascinating history of the Vatican City.

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
