Private Vatican Tour: Museums, Sistine Chapel, & St. Peter's

Special Instructions

Your guide will come with the tickets for Vatican Museums in hand. • Comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Itinerary involves 2.5 km of walking • Visitors must pass through metal detectors at the security check point. Please expect to maximum wait 20 minutes to clear security even with skip the line option.  • Travelers carrying large backpacks, glass bottles,  large tripods or umbrellas which cannot fold will have to check in their belonging in the cloak room. At the end, one would have to walk 1 km to retrieve their belongings from the Vatican Museum. • Strollers/ Prams are allowed in the Vatican museum but have to be checked in to the Basilica's cloakroom while entering the St.Peter's. Retrieving them is pretty easy. • A dress code is required to enter places of worship and selected museums. No shorts or sleeveless tops allowed. Knees and shoulders MUST be covered for both men and women. You may risk refused entry if you fail to comply with these dress requirements • The itinerary is not wheelchair accessible unless the person in the chair can stand up, climb and descend a few stairs. Please note that 2025 is a Jubilee Year, which may result in restricted access to certain areas of the Vatican Museums due to religious ceremonies. Additionally, entry to St. Peter's Basilica may be subject to unexpected closures or limited availability of tickets. If an area typically included in the tour is closed, our guide will provide an explanation and show an additional site or gallery to compensate. As these circumstances are beyond our control, we appreciate your patience and understanding.
