3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Hi all!
Polina, your guide from Rome, here.
As a history and archaeology graduate, I have been working as a licensed tour guide since 2017.

During our private tour, we will discover the highlights of the Vatican Museums (including the most Instagrammable Gallery of the Maps), admire the Sistine Chapel with its amazing frescoes by Michelangelo, and visit Saint Peter’s Basilica, skipping the line in the piazza.

BEFORE BOOKING, PLEASE NOTE :
1) Please check the availability of entrance tickets on the official website museovaticani.va. Tickets are not included in the tour price.
2) To skip the line to the Basilica, it is mandatory to obtain a QR code (which costs €5 per person + €5 per guide). I will book this for our group, but this fee must be paid on the spot before we begin the tour.

I am really excited to meet you in Rome! Please do not hesitate to text me if you have any questions.
