Vatican Museums & St. Peter's Basilica: Early Access + Guided Tour

Experience description

They say that the early bird catches the worm, and when it comes to visiting such complex and labyrinthine museums it certainly holds true. The earlier you arrive, the more you'll see.



Early risers are rewarded with the chance to explore the Vatican at their own pace. This tour lets you visit the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and the mother church of Catholic faith with extremely few people around you.



You’ll have the time and privacy to see everything you want in the museums, plus plenty more! Throughout the tour, you'll be in the company of a knowledgeable guide, who speaks great English, and presents with an entertaining style.



This tour is designed for no more than 12 people so you can enjoy a more private experience, ensuring that the guide is able to cater to your needs.
