This Special Vatican tour covers all of the not-to-be-missed sites within the Vatican. Avoid the crowds, congestion, and stuffy rooms with our Vatican Gardens and Sistine Chapel Private Access Tour.
Your journey begins with pickup from your hotel or preferred accommodation within Rome's City Center. Since the Vatican Museums are one of the most visited in the world, the best way to avoid the crowds during high season is to skip upper galleries, where crowds concentrate.
Beat the traffic by opting to visit the beautiful Vatican Gardens with your private tour guide instead. Immerse yourself in the colorful pathways which are complemented by priceless artwork, fountains, alluring flowers, and Renaissance architecture. Gaze at the giant labyrinth adorned by Lebanese Cedars observing all the details and hidden treasures within.
Continue your exclusive tour with rapid access to the Sistine Chapel directly from the Vatican Gardens. Listen to an explanation of Michelangelo’s masterpiece commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV as the center of Christendom, unveiling the artist’s secret meaning behind the artwork.
Take advantage of quick access to St. Peter’s Basilica as well with your guide. There you will end your tour seeing the touching statue of La Pietà, as well as the great Bernini’s Baldachin and holy St. Peter’s Sepulchrum. You will feel more relaxed and energetic after our open-air, green tour without having to miss the two highlights of a Vatican Tour: the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. Enjoy and keep the secret to yourself!
