Itinerary
On this wheelchair-friendly tour you meet with your guide in Vatican City. With skip-the-line tickets there is no waiting in queues and you gain immediate access. Headphones are provided so that as you pass through the various rooms and galleries you can clearly hear the commentary as the guide tells you about the many famous works that are housed in this magnificent building. The tour proper begins in the famous Pigna Courtyard and as we cross this you head into the Pio Cristiano Museum to the Gallery of Tapestries and the Gallery of Geographic Maps where some of the world’s most noteworthy Renaissance maps are housed. Next is a visit to see some of Raphael’s greatest works. Commissioned by Pope Julius II in the early 1500’s these magnificent rooms were painted by the young Raphael.
Of course, no visit to the Vatican is complete without a visit to the Sistine Chapel. As talking is prohibited inside the chapel your guide will tell what to look for once inside the chapel. You can marvel at the altar wall with Michelangelo’s The Last Judgment but you must cast your eyes to the ceiling to see the wonderful frescoes that also depict The Last Judgment

Excellent way to tour the Vatican if you have problems with mobility issues. Our guide, Thomassino, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly & even helped my husband with my wheelchair. Thank you Tom.
Massimiliano was an excellent private tour guide! He is very passionate about the Vatican’s history. He stopped at each point of interest, talked about the history, and went into a great detail. He was very considerate, knowledgeable and friendly. He went above and beyond and pushed me all around in my wheelchair.
Had a wonderful time and learned so much! This wheelchair tour made it very easy to navigate the Vatican-definitely worth it to take this tour!
As a person in a wheelchair, this is the best way to experience the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. Our tour guide, Fernando, was exceptional with vast knowledge of everything we were seeing. With this Accessible, Skip the Line tour, we were able to bypass the long lines waiting to enter these amazing sites.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Thomas our guide for the Skip the Line private Vatican Muesum tour! He was very knowledgeable and very accommodating to my mom’s wheelchair needs. I would highly recommend for anyone to spend the extra money to select this option with Viator!
Our tour guide was amazing. He met us right on time for our private tour. Such a knowledgeable gentlemen. You reviewed the history with us (excellent book/pictures) before we started the tour. He pushed my husband during the tour in a wheelchair and my husband really appreciated the assistance. Highly recommend this tour!
Tommaso was very personable throughout the tour and even asked if there was anything we specifically wanted to see. In addition Tommaso was able to answer any of our questions. Would definitely recommend Tommaso for any other tour, he was the best guide we had the whole trip.
