WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

There are not many guides that are licensed and recognised by the Vatican and we have some of the best tour guides in Rome, they all speak perfect English and have studied art history and their job is their passion.

On a tour like this we believe what makes the difference is understanding your needs and passing on our knowledge and passion in a relaxed, fun and informative manner. 

Q.Is this tour available all year?

A.The Vatican Museums are open Monday to Saturday for most of the year but there are some scheduled closures for 2024. Please be aware that this tour is subject to ticket availability.

Q.How early in advance should I book my tour?

A.The earliest the better for this tour, normally tickets go on sale 2 months in advance but they sell out in a matter of minutes, so it is good to get in early and give us a chance to look for tickets through partner agencies.

Q.What languages are the tours conducted in?

A.Our knowledgeable guide conducts tours in English, Portuguese and Mandarin Chinese, making it accessible to a diverse range of travellers.  

Q.What is the difference between this tour and other group tours of the Vatican?

 A. Our first and most important point of difference is that we provide a private tour, so it will only be you and your group with our guide so you get a much more in depth and personalised experience. Our tour guides are professionals, this is their main occupation and they are passionate about sharing their knowledge accumulated over years of studying and practising.
