Unforgettable Private Vatican & Sistine Chapel Tour

Our private tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel was an unforgettable experience! The guide was knowledgeable and captured some amazing photos of my family. We skipped the lines, which made the experience much more relaxed and personal. The Sistine Chapel was breathtaking, and learning about the art and history behind it made the visit even more special. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to truly appreciate the beauty and history of the Vatican!

Vatican Tour? Book with Dina at Devine Horizons

OMG! If you want a private tour of the Vatican, go with Dina from Devine Horizons. She is amazing!!! Dina met my wife and I at the large entrance of the Vatican. She immediately navigated the confusing lines and got us into the Vatican within minutes. She took the time to point out the restrooms and even bought us a couple bottles of water for the tour. Once inside, she spent a lot of time explaining the history of the Vatican and pointing out the special treasures inside. She is definitely an expert and answered all of our questions. The best part about Dina is that she knows her way around the Vatican and how to avoid the large crowds. We breezed through each exhibit and did not spend our time waiting in line behind people, which we appreciated. Dina was very kind and routinely checked on us and made sure the pace of the tour was ok. (My wife recently broke her ankle) Most guides simply walk around and point out stuff. Dina, tailored the tour around our needs and made us feel very special. At the end of the tour, Dina recommended a nearby shop for souvenirs and even bought us gelato while we waited for our driver to arrive. I cannot thank Dina enough for her dedication and passion during our Vatican tour. Folks, look no further than Devine Horizons for your tour needs. I highly recommend asking for Dina if you decide on a Vatican Tour. Jeff and Sandy

Professor Erik is the Absolute Best

We cannot say enough good things about this tour and most especially our guide, Erik. Not only was he highly educated and informed about everything related to the Vatican, he had a great sense of humor as we stopped and discussed the important works of art and locations around the city. The private setting was perfect for being able to absorb the things he was teaching us and afforded us the opportunity to ask a lot of questions. We were consistently amazed with how much he knew and how fluently he spoke Italian. He was born in America but moved to Italy 25 years ago to continue his passion for learning. We knew we were in good hands. If you want to tour the Vatican, while learning as much about it as you want, and have a great time while doing it then you definitely need to book a tour with Professor Erik. We can’t wait to return and book another tour with him.

Impressive guide at the Vatican

Saverio, We enjoyed two fabulous tours with this company. Saverio arranged everything, making calls with me and communicating exceptionally well. Their drivers are particularly immaculate and the vehicles very smart. We were all wowed by Caesar at the Vatican - he was so personable, is very well read and clearly loves his subject and passed on so many very interesting facts - we could have spent all day with him!
