Ursus was wonderful! He made our tour informative and comfortable, and took great care of my elderly mother. Very pleased, thank you!
On our private tours, you decide who tours with you and your own private guide. They're priced for up to 2 people, but you can easily increase the number of participants when you book your tour with an automatic price adjustment.
The Ultimate Guide
Our Private Vatican Tour typically follow a carefully crafted route through the museums, visiting all of the must-see parts such as the Gallery of Tapestries and the Laocoon and His Sons sculpture that inspired Michelangelo.
Be amazed as you enter the Sistine Chapel and experience two of the world’s most famous masterpieces for yourself – The Last Judgement and The Creation of Adam. With a coordinating commentary from your guide, you’ll see things that other visitors never spot – like Michelangelo’s bone-free self-portrait, his message to the world that he would rather be skinned alive than paint the Sistine Chapel again.
Stand in Awe, Not in Line
Our tour ends with a bang at St. Peter’s Basilica. We enter directly from the Sistine Chapel via a special entrance, skipping the long line outside. Your guide will provide you with a detailed description of the Basilica and its spectacular altar, Michelangelo's famous 'Pietà' and the side chapels that make this the world's largest historic church.
