What you can expect

Experience the splendour of the Vatican Museums in the morning light with skip-the-line entrance to the papal collections and the Sistine Chapel. Travelling in an intimate and safe group of MAX 6 PEOPLE GUARANTEED, see several of the world's artistic masterpieces and enjoy special access to St. Peter's Basilica.

As chirping birds announce the break of day, meet your guide near the entrance to the Vatican Museums and duck inside the Sistine Chapel before the general public arrives. Here, receive a privileged introduction to the chapel and take extra time to marvel at The Last Judgement by Michelangelo in the tranquil early hours.

Next, the Vatican Museums beckon. In addition to paintings by Bellini, Raphael, and Caravaggio, peruse the Pinecone and Octagonal courtyards, soaking up sights of marble statues in the morning light. Your tour isn't complete without a visit to the Raphael Rooms, where 16th-century frescoes provide a captivating look at Rome's High Renaissance.

Finally, circle back to the Sistine Chapel and bypass the lines on your way inside St. Peter's Basilica. Here, get an unobstructed look at Bernini's baldacchino, Michelangelo's Pietà, and the tomb of Alexander VII. Finally, bid your guide farewell and enjoy ample time to peruse the papal tombs and snap photos of St. Peter's Square on your own.

Your tour will also include visiting the Raphael Rooms! Enjoy the emptiness of the museum to fully take in the beautiful paintings and frescoes not often seen by tourists. This tour will include 2 of the best highlights of the Vatican - the Sistine Chapel and Raphael rooms - seen before the general public!

Please note:

Starting in 2024, the Vatican Museums will discontinue early access for all tour providers, instead opening to the public at 8AM. This tour will then be offered as a first entrance experience, which we recommend for a less crowded, more personalised, and fully guided experience.
