First Entry Vatican, Sistine Chapel & St. Peter’s Basilica Tour | Private Reviews

Wow, what a tour of the Vatican!!!

Our Tour Guide Giovanni took us on an incredible journey through the Vatican. He was such a great guide, Knowledgable and funny. He took us to so many rooms, and explained everything that we were seeing in great detail, his knowledge was off the charts. When the tour was over he explained that we could remain inside the Vatican all day and gave us several tips on things we could do and see above and beyond everything included on the tour. If you want to see the Vatican and all it has to offer this is an amazing tour that starts early, before the massive crowds are allowed inside, so you get a great headstart. And, if you have Giovanni as your guide, you can't go wrong. He made the whole day better with his knowledge, humor and thorough understanding of how to best navigate the Vatican to avoid the crowds.

Very informative

The Vatican, Sistine Chapel, and Basilica are stunning! Sabrina was very personable, friendly, and informative for my private Vatican early morning tour. I was picked up via private car from my hotel at 7 am and my guide and I were just about first in line to get in. We waited in line until the doors opened at 8 am. There was another line of a few hundred that got to go in first but when we went into the Vatican museum at 8 am it was not crowded. Sabrina made sure to point out all the interesting and important elements as we walked through and offered to take pictures of me at key locations. She was a wealth of knowledge of history, art, architecture, important names and dates, religious significance, etc. and all provided in perfect English. Thank you!

Just Perfect!

I booked this tour for my wife’s birthday, and it was one of the best experiences we’ve had traveling. The private access allowed us to enjoy the Vatican Museums in peace, without the usual crowds. The Sistine Chapel was simply stunning, and having it nearly empty made it all the more powerful.

Breathtaking Experience Before the Crowds

It was an unforgettable experience to explore the Vatican Museums without the usual crowds. Giulia, our guide, made everything come alive with fascinating details about each artwork and its history. I also loved learning about the intricate frescoes in the Raphael Rooms, which we visited before they got crowded. Highly recommended for those seeking a peaceful, exclusive Vatican experience.

Quiet & Intimate Experience

I had been to the Vatican before, but this private early morning tour was next level. The lack of crowds allowed me to truly appreciate the art and architecture. Elena gave us a fantastic introduction to the history of each room. The early access to St. Peter’s Basilica felt like a privilege.

Great for Art Enthusiasts

As an art lover, this tour was a dream come true. The Raphael Rooms and the Sistine Chapel were the highlights of the day. Chiara, our guide, was not only informative but had a real passion for the art we were seeing. It was an unforgettable experience that felt very exclusive and luxurious.

Incredible Access, Beautiful Art, Amazing Guide

This was the highlight of our trip to Rome! The access to the Vatican’s hidden areas, like the Bramante Staircase, made us feel like VIPs. Our guide, Marco, was incredibly knowledgeable and made the history come alive. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants a more personal experience.

A Hidden Treasure

This private tour took us to places we never would have known about otherwise. The Bramante Staircase was simply breathtaking, and being able to see it without a crowd made it even more special. I’ll never forget the serenity of the Sistine Chapel early in the morning.

A Privilege to Skip the Lines

The ability to skip the lines at the Vatican is worth the price alone. But the real magic of this tour is the access to areas that few get to see, like the Bramante Staircase. We felt like VIPs the entire time. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a more personal and relaxed experience of the Vatican.

A Wonderful, Stress-Free Experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our Private Early Morning Vatican Tour. From the moment we met our guide, Chiara, we knew we were in good hands. The entire experience was stress-free, thanks to the skip-the-line access and the early entry. We loved the quiet moments in the Sistine Chapel and the opportunity to take in all the details without rushing. A fantastic way to experience the Vatican's treasures.
