The Vatican museums are one of the world's most visited museum complexes and undoubtedly on Rome's "must see" list. Yet with long lines, crowds and its sheer scale, it is easy for people to end up overwhelmed and exhausted. Don't let that happen to you! Imagine walking through these magnificently adorned halls without the noise of hundreds of bustling tourists; It's almost like having the place to yourself.
You will visit the St. Peter's Basilica when only 10% of the usual crowds are present, with your own private tour guide.

We had a wonderful driver who picked us up right on time and then we met up with our guide Sonya who guided us around the museum, the Sistine chapel and the main church all while explaining the most important pieces of art.
It way wonderful not being in a big group because it was packed!
I did have to pay extra to get back to our hotel so that would be nice for them to include in the future!!

This is the third time in the last 5 years we have taken a different grandson, all under 10, on a private tour of the Vatican. Our guide Marlene was superb and it takes a special guide to captivate a 9 year old. Her enthusiasm for all she was describing was a big part of that. We learned new things as well and thoroughly enjoyed our 3 hours with her.
We always double-check the availability with our local partners for each booking. Even though this is usually a swift process, it can take up to 24 hours.
