No One Gets You in Safer
We bring you straight through an exclusive Reserved Entrance to experience this incredible collection at a relaxing pace on our Semi-Private Vatican Tours. With groups of 10 or less, this is a great opportunity to visit the Vatican without the queues and crowds.
Updated security standards mean that you are in safe hands. Guides and guests will be required to wear masks as well as adhering to social distancing where possible. This means you can visit the Vatican safe in the knowledge that this carefully planned tour will keep you protected.
There has never been a better time to visit the Vatican. This tour is completely relaxed, and you will have a one in a lifetime opportunity to see this incredible site as there is only a limited number of people allowed inside. Reduced and limited access means you can admire the artwork and architecture in peace and complete safety. There will be almost nobody around, and it really is an amazing - almost unimaginable - way to experience this incredible place.
No One Gives You More Access
Inside, your guide will ensure you don’t miss a thing. There are over 2000 rooms across the Vatican, but with your expert, English-speaking guide you’ll follow a carefully planned route that shows you the best of what there is to see. You will enter the Pinecone Courtyard, where you will get an idea of the treasures ahead. Between ancient Egyptian statues and abstract modern sculptures, your guide will give your intimate group an outline of what to look out for in the Sistine Chapel as there is no commentary allowed inside. This will give you time to prepare for the fascinating details which will be on display when you enter.
Before you reach the Chapel, however, you will have plenty of time to explore other lesser known sites such as the Gallery of Tapestries, Hall of Maps, and the Gallery of Candelabra before stopping to bask in the Raphael Rooms with their light-filled frescoes. All through these sections, your guide will be with your group pointing out the many fascinating details such as optical illusions and tiny paintings of Christopher Columbus. Your guide will also be with you in the Sistine Chapel, but we observe the respectful quiet asked for and give people time to reflect on the fascinating details such as Michelangelo’s portrayal of his contemporaries to his own hidden self-portraits.
In just 2.5 hours, we’ll show you the highlights of the Vatican Museums and its incredible buildings on this intimate and exciting tour. It is a great opportunity to see the Vatican in a small group, for your safety and enjoyment; you’ll see the most important sites of the Vatican City and come away feeling fulfilled.
