This three hour guided tour in the company of an expert guide, allows you to see the best of the Vatican City. With pre-booked tickets you won’t waste time in queues before beginning your visit to the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and Saint Peter’s Basilica, to name but a few. As you take in the sights of the world’s smallest country, you’ll hear from your guide about the history of these renowned places and learn about some of the many masterpieces housed in the Vatican.
READ CAREFULLY:
Because of the growing popularity of the current pope Francis and his intense activity in organising mass events in the Vatican some areas might get closed last minute without previous notice. This has already happened this year and can happen again during you Vatican tour: the Sistine chapel and/or the Basilica of Saint Peter might not be accessible. In case of such events our tour guide will provide you with a valuable alternative focusing the tour inside the Vatican museums.

Our guide Thoma was great. He kept the kids excited and interested with treasure hunts in the museum and chapel. He was very informative and great fun. 10/10.

Tomaso was fabulous and well informed. He kept not only my 3 boys interested but due to the extreme heat was conscious of where we were standing to avoid long periods in the sun. Would highly recommend.
