Vatican Tours

The Vatican houses one of the world’s most impressive art collections; ancient Greek and Roman statuary, renaissance & baroque art of Raphael, Botticelli and Bernini, and the Sistine Chapel, decorated by Michelangelo himself. With so much to see, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed which is why our expert guides are there to keep you engaged the entire way.

2023 NEWS: Thanks to a very special collaborative agreement between LivTours and the Vatican Museums, our clients have access to an exclusive 8AM first entry into the Museums. Reserved for only a select number of other tour operators, this privileged entry guarantees you access to the Raphael Rooms and the Sistine Chapel before the general public and before other tour operators. This extraordinary experience is not to be missed!

Can't make the 7:30 am Tour? Our partnership goes beyond the early access. LivTours is able to guarantee the fastest skip-the-line service at every hour of the day, in addition to unlimited access to exclusive Secret Rooms on selected tours otherwise closed to the public.
