Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

How can we make the most of a Vatican visit during our three days in Rome, without feeling rushed?

Accepted Answer

A private, curated tour will give you the most relaxed experience possible. On our tour, we’ve carefully picked a route that avoids crowds, and brings you to the must-sees of the Vatican — the Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and St Peter’s Basilica. You set the pace, meaning you’ll never feel hurried, and you’ll be able to ask the guide all the questions you want.

Question 2

What’s the difference between a private tour and a standard group tour at the Vatican?

Accepted Answer

A private tour is more tailored and flexible than a standard group tour, letting you experience the Vatican exactly how you want to. Your guide is completely focused on you, the tour moves at your pace, and you can spend longer in specific areas or at particular works of art that pique your interest.

Question 3

Will our guide point out lesser-known works, help us skip the lines, and let us spend more time at points that interest us?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Your guide is an officially accredited Vatican expert, and knows everything about the artworks that lie within its walls. They’ll highlight both the famous masterpieces and the hidden gems many visitors miss. Our private tour includes skip the line tickets. And while the route is designed to take in all the Vatican’s highlights, the personalization means you can pause at the pieces that matter to you most.

Question 4

What is the cancellation policy for this private tour?

Accepted Answer

We get it — plans change. That's why we offer a full refund on cancellations made at least 7 days before your tour date. Just reach out to us and we'll take care of everything. We're here before, during, and after your experience to make sure every detail works for you.
