Overview

Enjoy a 3-hour in-depth tour of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter's Basilica. This Private Tour will allow you not only to receive the best information and maximum attention during your visit but also to ensure that you arrive on time and meet your Private Tour Guide completely stress-free! In a big city like Rome, it's easy to get lost and arrive late at starting locations, but don't worry, with your own private driver this will definitely not happen.

-Please note that St. Peter's Basilica is an active parish and is therefore subject to unforeseen closures for spiritual celebrations. In such cases we will, if possible, contact you in advance with an alternative tour time or itinerary. If this is not possible you will receive an extended tour inside the Museums.
