Private Highlights Vatican Guided Tour Reviews

The Sistine Chapel in Peace

We timed it perfectly thanks to our guide, arriving at the Sistine Chapel before the thickest crowds. It’s impossible to put into words what it’s like to look up and see Michelangelo’s work in person.

Beautiful Morning in Rome

We booked the early slot and it was a brilliant decision. Cooler temperatures, fewer crowds, and gorgeous light streaming through the windows.

Worth it all

Even though it was peak tourist season, we felt like we had breathing space the whole time. The skip-the-line entrance alone made me glad we booked privately.

Perfect Pace for Our Group

We had four adults and my elderly father with us, and the pacing worked really well. Breaks were spaced nicely and we never felt left behind, even with the summer crowds.

Best Way to See the Vatican

This was our third time visiting the Vatican, but the first time on a private tour. It’s a completely different experience. Having Davide tailor the route to our interests meant we could finally see the areas we’d always missed in big groups. The Bramante Staircase was a special bonus.

Flawless Organisation

From meeting at the entrance to the final goodbye in St. Peter’s Square, everything ran smoothly. We saw more in three hours than I managed in a full day when I visited years ago.

Great for First-Time Visitors

This was my first trip to Rome and I’m so glad I booked this tour. It made navigating such a massive place simple, and I could actually enjoy the beauty instead of worrying about logistics.

LivTours Delivers Again

I’ve used LivTours in Florence and Venice, so booking with them for the Vatican was a no-brainer. Once again, they delivered an exceptional experience with top-notch service.

Expert Guide

Even though the Vatican was busy, our guide Lucia seemed to know all the quieter corners and best angles for photos. It felt more personal than I imagined it could.

Everything was Perfect

We walked straight past a massive queue and were inside within minutes. That alone was worth it, but the depth of information from our guide made it even better.
