Rome: Private Vatican & Sistine Chapel Tour

This private walking tour takes you through the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel in 3 hours with a licensed guide. Skip-the-line tickets are included, so you do not wait in the public ticket line. You see the Pinecone Courtyard, the Gallery of Tapestries and the Gallery of Maps, the Raphael Rooms if time and crowds allow, and the Sistine Chapel, with Michelangelo's ceiling and the Last Judgment. If the visit to the Museums and the Sistine Chapel takes about 2 hours, your guide uses the last hour for St. Peter's Basilica. Only your group takes part, from 1 to 20 people. You meet the guide outside the Vatican Museums entrance on Viale Vaticano.
