Overview

Join Our Semi-Private Vatican Museums Tour Early Bird Entrance and Enter the Vatican Galleries Before Anyone Else! 

Early entrance Vatican Museums Tour is the best way to visit the Vatican galleries, the Raphael Rooms, the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica in peace and quiet with our semi-private tour.

Thanks to the small size of the group up to 14 people or less, you will enjoy a more interactive experience with your guide and the Early bird access will allow you to visit the Museums about 1 hour before the general public.

During your visit to one of the largest museum in the world, you will see the apartment of Pope Julius II who called at his service Raphael and Michelangelo in the 16th century.

Our tour also includes a visit of the apartment of the Pope Borgia and the Matisse Room and right after, you will go to the Sistine Chapel to see the impressive Michelangelo’s wall frescoes of the “Creation of the World” and the Last Judgement.

The main focus of this tour is to guide you through the Museums when there are less people and crowd. The second feature of this tour is that you will have a more comprehensive visit of the wonders of the Vatican with an enthusiastic guide fully licensed.

We are a company accredited in the Vatican Museums and we aim to offer to all our customers a marvellous experience bringing the Vatican wonders back to life. What will you see in the 3 hours of the tour?

The guide will lead you through the Vatican’s many galleries, pointing out the main works: the beautiful paintings of the Raphael Rooms, the Gallery of Maps and that of the Chandeliers, the elegant Borgia Apartments and of course the stunning frescoes by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel.

From here a special fast-track passageway will lead you to St. Peter’s Basilica, the biggest and holiest Catholic Church in the world. In the Basilica you will see the "Pieta" of Michelangelo sculpted when he was only 21 years old, the spectacular Baroque altar of the Pope designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini for the Pope Urban VIII and the beautiful mosaics.

The tour will leave you outside in the amazing St. Peter’s Square, surrounded by the colonnade designed once again by the Bernini.

We will cover the highlights of the Vatican museums, one of the largest in the world, with over 6 miles of galleries and 2000 rooms of artwork, you will enjoy our enthusiastic guide.

The tour was very well organized. The meeting point was very easy to reach, and the staff there were so kind! Our guide was a sweet highly-educated guy with a typical Italian accent which I found so funny... He showed us a lot of things, holding a big tablet for more pictures, tables and reconstructions when needed, very helpful! It was just the 5 of us (myself and an English family), so we could even sneak in a closed-to-the-public area in the Basilica to take a look at the crypt conceived to memorialize the location of Saint Peter's grave, just us! Amazing! The Museums and the Church are always very busy and chaotic, so a guided tour like this one is highly recommended, I could not imagine going inside without a skip-the-like ticket and a guide to show the way... So happy about this experience! Book this tour with privatetour.com you won't regret it.

So glad we went early in the morning, to avoid the crowds which were heavy even in mid-October. We saw so much and learned about the Vatican. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Our guide was friendly, funny, and most of all, extremely knowledgeable. She instantly put us at ease in what would have been an overwhelming experience on our own at the Vatican. Choosing a small group tour kept the conversations intimate and viewings unrushed. We were also able to skip the crazy long line at the entrance. Highly recommend and couldn't have enjoyed the tour more.

This is definitely the best way to see the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel. Our guide was so interesting and knowledgeable I could have listened to him all day and having the opportunity to share the Chapel with a small group of people rather than the huge crowds who are usually there was a wonderful experience.

The Vatican Museum is a must see when in Rome and having a very knowledgeable guide really helped us better understand and appreciate what we saw on the tour. The tour lasts approximately three hours so bring your walking shoes. We saw some of the most stunning works of art and seeing them early in the morning with no crowds was amazing. Thank you for a very good tour.

We were so pleased we’d booked this tour after we saw the lines of people queuing to get in the day before. A friend who had been to Rome told me about this tour and on her recommendation we booked it. We booked it online and our guide met us on time. Seeing all of the marvelous museums and learning about the history of the Vatican was a great experience. I was travelling with my mother and she really loved the tour. It is worth it to see the Vatican early in the morning.

I highly recommend this company and would not hesitate to use them again. We booked all of our tours before we came to Italy. We wanted to get the most out of our experience at the Vatican and this is why we booked an early morning tour. All of our tours were good, but this one was fantastic. Our guide met us in the morning and we did not have to wait in the large queues that were already starting. I really do not think that you can enjoy the Vatican in large group tours because if you do not keep up you will miss a lot of what is being said. We had headsets that actually worked very well.

The Vatican and the Sistine chapel are beautiful and I highly recommend this tour. What made this tour so exceptional was our guide’s presentation. She knew just what to explain to us without being overwhelming or difficult to understand. If you really want to enjoy the Vatican, then an early morning tour is a must.

I cannot imagine getting through the Vatican without a guide. The 3 hours went past so quickly and the tour was well organized and professional. When we left, I was amazed at the size of the crowds that were gathering to enter. I will be recommending this tour to all of my friends. Thank you from .
