Alone in the Sistine Chapel & Vatican Museums | Exclusive Semi-Private Tour Reviews

Extraordinary!

Having visited the Vatican museums twice before in my life, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from this tour. Was there a catch? Would it really be private and uncrowded? Our family of 5 toured with one other family of 5 with Davide as our guide. It was exceptional beyond anything I could imagine. Davide wasn't just exceptional....he was extraordinary! He brought the entire museum to life for us, answered all of our questions, and accommodated our special requests to see the exit double helix staircase before taking the shortcut to St. Peter's for our "add on" tour. We truly enjoyed every minute! We were there so early that the cleaning staff was still making their final touches. As we made our way to breakfast at the conclusion of our tour, the museum opened and we realized Davide was a bit of celebrity amidst the others as everyone around seemed to know him. We also enjoyed our breakfast with Davide and getting to know him on a personal level. Our family agrees that we could not possibly have a guide better than Davide. We cannot recommend this tour nor Davide enough! Worth every last penny we spent and probably one of the greatest experiences I've had in life.

Best way to visit the Vatican

This is truly the best way to experience the whole Vaticaan. I had done a vatican museum tour before but it does not come close to being the only tour group there. By getting such an early entrance you get a whole different appreciation for the beauty of the museums and get to truly take it all in. Our guide, Linda made the 6:15am wake up call easy with her enthusiasm and interesting stories. Best tour ever!

Amazing Tour!

Seeing the Vatican with no one else was truly an unforgettable experience! Our tour guide was amazing and was so knowledgeable about anything and everything we asked about!

Once in a Lifetime Experience

Being alone in the Vatican, especially the Sistine Chapel, was an unforgettable experience. I had done a different company's tour of the Vatican at a more crowded hour and while it will always be stunning, the views and pictures I was able to get on this tour blew the other out of the water.
