Skip The Line: Vatican Private Tour
Highlights
-
Meet your private guide just across the street from the Vatican Museum Entrance, in front of a local cafe, at your chosen departure time. You and your private party will have the full attention of your dedicated guide as you explore the premises. Skip the often long entry lines and proceed directly inside the Vatican Museums to explore the rooms, courtyards, and corridors where various Popes lived, studied, and ruled. Learn about the history and culture behind each of the artworks that span more than 2,000 years of history. Walk through the Raphael's Rooms and pause to learn about the Laocoön Group, then make your way to see Michelangelo's famous fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. You'll also see other highlights such as the Hall of Maps, the Hall of Tapestries, and Porphyry Sarcophagi made for Emperor Constantine’s family. End your tour inside St. Peter's Basilica, where you can see Michelangelo's Pietà and Bernini's Baldacchino. This private tour ensures personalized attention from your guide and plenty of opportunities to ask questions.
