Tour description

This is our best-selling private Vatican tour. With our Best of the Vatican Private Guided Tour you will skip the line to enter the Vatican Museums and discover all the Vatican wonders and treasures accompanied by your private licensed guide who will be with you for 3 hours to make sure you don’t miss any of the highlights. Our guides are experts in the art and history of the Vatican and will tell you all about the secrets and stories of the Popes, treasures and famous artists who worked for the Vatican state.

The Vatican is an enormous collection of art and the papacy is a fascinating institution- did you know it has survived for longer than the Roman Empire?! Having a private Vatican tour is an excellent way to make sense of everything you are seeing and get to know the fascinating history of the Vatican. You will be captivated by stories of the artists whose work was commissioned by the Vatican and the intense rivalry that often existed between them. Whilst you tour your private guide will even let you in on some secrets of the Vatican state that might just surprise you!

Of course your private tour of the Vatican will include an in-depth exploration of the Sistine Chapel with the beautiful ceiling and the Last Judgement by Michelangelo. You will learn about just how Michelangelo managed to paint that ceiling all those years ago. Of course, like any art work, there is tons of meaning behind the paintings adorning the Sistine Chapel. Let your private guide tell you everything!


If you choose to treat yourself to our Best of the Vatican Private Guided Tour we are sure you won’t regret it.
