Private tour is worth every penny!

Bernadette was marvelous! She brought to life the history of the Vatican, answered our probing questions, and made our experience memorable. We highly recommend her and the private tour!

A wonderful experience with Marcello

Marcelllo is a passionate, experienced and competent guide, he accompanied us on an exciting journey to discover the hidden treasures of the Vatican Museums. With his in-depth knowledge and infectious passion, he led us through the halls full of extraordinary works of art, telling us fascinating stories. Thanks to his guide, we were able to fully appreciate the beauty and grandeur of works such as the Sistine Chapel, Raphael's Room and many other wonders that enrich the Vatican Museums.

Great but a lot of walking. A must experience. It would be nicer with less crowds. Our guide was great.

Private Tour Guide with Kids

Booking a private guided tour to the Batican Museums, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter’s Basilica is an absolute MUST! Especially when you have children in tow (we have a 12 year old and a 3 year old). Roberto was exceedingly wonderful!! He was knowledgeable, kind, patient and a pro at navigating the stroller/accessible access points to get around efficiently and smoothly. Initially we booked our tour for 8am and due to unforeseen circumstances had to get bumped to 12:30pm. I was very upset initially (because it was pushed around my toddler’s nap time and in the heat of the day). Luckily, it all worked out for the best surprisingly! It wasn’t as busy/packed and we were truly able to enjoy all of the sights and wonders. It was an incredible experience and we highly recommend that you request for Roberto as a private guide for your next tour to the Vatican, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Basilica! Thank you so much for giving my family the opportunity to experience the Vatican, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter’s Basilica in an unforgettable way that we will cherish forever.

Stress Free is Priceless

It is very difficult to get tickets to the Vatican. We couldn't risk it with a big family group so we bought this tour. It was well worth it as we didn't have to wait in any lines and had an expert tour guide for the Vatican.

A Beautiful, Family-Friendly Vatican Experience

Our Vatican tour was an unforgettable experience! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and made history come alive with fascinating stories and insights. We were traveling with a multigenerational family—including a toddler—and the pace was perfect for everyone. The tour was organized, engaging, and gave us a much deeper appreciation for the Vatican’s art, architecture, and significance. Highly recommend for families or anyone wanting a meaningful and seamless visit!

An afternoon at the Vatican

Great tour of the Museum, the Sistine Chapel, and St Peters Basilica. Our tour guide Roberta was knowledgeable and pleasant. She helped us navigate the crowds, it was crowded, and see the key sites in each leg of the tour.

Vatican museum tour and Chapel

Highlight of my trip. The crowds are overwhelming in Rome so paying for a small group tour is the best way to go. As a group you enter from the side not St Peter’s but the security line moves very fast . The guide provided by this company Silve was brilliant . We moved thought security quickly , put our headsets on so we could hear her talking and off we went . Her knowledge of the Vatican . The museum , the art was brilliant . As a small group we moved more easily thought the massive groups and crowds . Plenty of time for photos and questions . Having a great guide really makes the experience . Just expect masses of people I don’t think it can avoided in Rome . I was able to sit and enjoy the Sistine Chapel . Thank you Silvie this was the one experience I wanted in Rome and thanks to you it didn’t disappoint .

Great choice - great host

Having seen how busy the Vatican was, we are so pleased that we booked this private skip the line tour with our excellent guide Bernadette, who was extremely informative and professional. We now know so much more than we could have expected.
