Discover the figures, the technique and the meaning of the frescoes created in 4 years of Michelangelo's timeless passion on our Sistine Chapel tour. Find out more about Julius II, the pope who commissioned his works. Wander through Raphael's rooms as you let our expert guide reveal the mysteries and insights of the depicted characters. Discover how the church's admiration for art has led to such a vast collection of treasures in the Vatican Museums recovered from underground after years of neglect. Skip the queues and find yourself inside St Peter's Basilica where you will be able to contemplate the long history of Christian faith and be moved by Michelangelo's world famous sculpture, Pietà.

Meeting our guide Giuseppe was easy and quick. Giuseppe took a moment and explained the skip-the-line process and we entered the Vatican. Once inside he explained all of the different collections and must-see areas and timings so that we could tailor our experience. Giuseppe is very knowledgeable and tailors his information to our interests and let us move at our pace. Giuseppe quickly adapted as conditions changed. We enjoyed our tour and we enjoyed Giuseppe.

It was very crowded, and my partner & I still had to follow the crowds on this private VIP tour. Having a guide, helped us by providing important information along the way, and a quicker access to St. Peter's Basilica.

We booked this tour less than a week in advance because, incredibly, our first private tour operator cancelled on us last-minute. To make it happen we had to schedule for our last day in Rome. To be sure this would go forward, we called and emailed and even were required to pay extra to book the tour, in violation of Viator policies. We paid because it was so important to see the Vatican on our honeymoon and we received multiple confirmations and assurances. Well, morning of the tour, they bring us all the way down to the Vatican entrance to tell us they don’t have entrance tickets for us. This was the most ridiculous hang up I have ever seen and we wasted our last morning in Rome waiting around for them to somehow not be able to scrounge up entrance tickets for our $1,600 private tour. Unbelievably bad experience that put a damper on our honeymoon.
