Additional Info

  • Confirmation will be received at time of booking
  • Wheelchair accessible
  • Stroller accessible
  • Infant seats available
  • Travelers should have a moderate physical fitness level
  • WHEELCHAIRS, WALKERS AND STROLLERS: Visits to Ancient Rome and the Vatican Museums involve significant walking. Elevators are available for visitors with mobility issues, and a considerable portion of the museum features wheelchair-accessible paths. Please note that visitors with limited mobility can contact us to request special accommodations, such as wheelchairs or walkers. A member of your group will be responsible for pushing the wheelchair. Please note that wheelchairs, walkers, and strollers are not permitted in the passage connecting the Basilica's courtyard due to the 50 steps that are both downwards and upwards. The tour will conclude with a visit to the Museums. It is forbidden to split the group to allow part of it to continue inside the Basilica. The whole group is requested to stay with the guide. For the same reason, we suggest avoiding strollers and using a baby sling instead.
  • **IMPORTANT INFO FOR LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS:** The Basilica stops issuing tickets three days before the tour. During peak season, tickets may sell out four to five days in advance. Last-minute bookings may still allow for a visit to the Basilica. After leaving the Sistine Chapel, you will queue without a ticket with your guide, who will stay with you for an extra hour to navigate the line and metal detector checks. We apologize for any inconvenience, as this is beyond our control.
  • This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate

A bit pricey for the average budget, but we definitely got what we paid for. Best tours ever!

Tracey_A, Mar 2026
No regrets. Our driver was great, and our guide was awesome. There was no waiting at all, even at the Vatican. Driver parked and tour guide walked us around. She knew everyone there and everything about the areas we visited. At one point, we got stranded in Rome when a private car service did not show up, and the driver from our private tours went out of her way to pick us up and drive us all the way to our hotel in Civitavecchia.

Great tour and best tour guide!!!

We really enjoyed our tour. Our guide Andy did an excellent job showing us around explaining what we were looking at. Fantastic lunch was included in the tour

Superbe visite de Rome en première classe

Le chauffeur est arrivé à notre hôtel à l’heure indiqué avec une belle voiture propre et il était très professionnel et gentil. Le guide Edouardo parlait très bien français et est un guide accrédité du Vatican, très connaissant et intéressant et à l’écoute de nos besoins, ce fut une journée mémorable! Le dîner était très bon dans un charmant restaurant. Merci beaucoup pour l’expérience cinq étoiles!
