Please check your email the day before the tour to receive important information.
Please note that the number of attractions depends on the selected option. Private car transfers and a walking tour of the Vatican City are not included in the 2-hour tour.
Skip-the-line tickets to Castel Sant'Angelo provide faster entry without queuing at the ticket office, but you may have to wait for ticket validation and mandatory security checks.
The 3,5- and 4,5-hour options include an estimated 1,5-hour round-trip transfer time between the meeting point and the accommodation address provided when booking. Please note that the transfer time quoted is for information purposes only and can take longer or shorter depending on the distance and traffic.
We will arrange private transfers in a standard car (sedan) for groups of 1-4 people, and in a larger van or minibus for groups of 5 people and more. If you're traveling in a smaller group but want to travel in a more spacious car, we recommend booking a 5-people tour to take advantage of a larger vehicle.
Due to the museum’s rules, 1 licensed guide can show a group of 1-7 people, so the price of the tour will be higher if you need more than 1 guide. For 7-15 people we will provide the service of 2 licensed guides.
This is a private tour/activity. Only your group will participate
