Experience the Vatican as few people have ever seen it.
Begin your day with an American-style breakfast in the Pinecone Courtyard. Take in the magnificent views of the Vatican with unparalleled peace and serenity as you enjoy a delicious morning meal before the general public has even been allowed inside.
After breakfast, join your expert guide for a semi-private tour of the Vatican Museums. Saunter along our carefully crafted route uncovering exquisite art collections and archeological wonders that have been preserved for centuries.
From there, visit the Sistine Chapel – the Pope’s personal place of worship. Marvel at Michelangelo’s glorious artistry as you immerse yourself within one of the world’s most historic and significant landmarks.
Finally, your guide will avoid long lines to get you into St. Peter’s Basilica to explore one of the pillars of the Catholic church. At the conclusion of the tour, you can remain in St. Peter’s Basilica to experience more of this amazing church at your leisure, or step back outside St. Peter’s Square to admire Bernini’s clever optical illusion and the basilica’s heavenly facade.
A truly unique and once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Saint Peter’s Basilica is subject to last-minute closures for religious ceremonies. When this occurs, we're happy to offer customers an extended tour of the Vatican Museums. While we endeavour to tell tour groups ahead of time if there are any planned disruptions to the Basilica's opening hours, this is not always possible and in these cases we are unable to provide refunds or discounts.
