Express Early Morning Sistine Chapel Tour | Semi-Private Reviews

Best tour in Rome!

We really enjoyed our small group tour of the Vatican. Our guide, Davide, was BY FAR the best tour guide we had in Rome. He was fun and engaging, and knew just how to curate the most interesting details of each space. I highly recommend the early morning tour. We walked right up to security when they opened. We had a great viewing experience inside the Vatican, with plenty of opportunity to view and photograph the art, and none of the crowds like in images I've seen online. I would absolutely book this tour again. Thanks so much!

Exceptional

Alessandro was knowledgeable, and expert in distilling an enormous amount of history and art into a clear narrative diring this expansive tour. He was friendly, gracious and helpful, and his English is perfect.

Just the Right Length

The express format was perfect for us. We got rich insights without feeling overwhelmed. I especially appreciated having time alone inside the chapel.

A Magical Morning in the Vatican

I can’t recommend this tour enough! Seeing the Raphael Rooms and Sistine Chapel in near silence was extraordinary. Giulia, our guide, was knowledgeable without being overwhelming and had a great sense of humor.

Perfect Start to Our Roman Holiday

This tour was worth waking up early for. The peaceful moment inside the Sistine Chapel was unlike anything I’ve experienced. Marco’s storytelling was engaging and added depth to every fresco we saw.

Highlight of Our Europe Trip

Traveling with two teens, we were worried they’d be bored—but they were mesmerized. Our guide, Luca, had them laughing and learning at the same time. The early entry really made it feel like a VIP experience.

Emotional and Eye-Opening

I wasn’t prepared for how emotional I would feel inside the Sistine Chapel. Thanks to LivTours, I had the time and space to really take it all in. The morning light was soft and beautiful.

Not Just Another Tour

This was much more than I expected. Our guide Elena made sure we didn’t just see the art—we understood its context and meaning. Early access really makes a difference in atmosphere.

Must-Do in Rome

Seeing the Sistine Chapel without the crowds? Priceless. The semi-private format made it more personal, and I loved the chance to explore the galleries quietly in the early hours.

Made My Bucket List Complete

I’ve dreamed of seeing the Sistine Chapel since college, and LivTours made it happen in the best way possible. The early hour, the guide’s insights, and the calm atmosphere made it deeply personal.
