vatican tours

vatican tours Vatican tours booked through me allow you to see exactly what you want, for as long as you would like, when you want.

Although I no longer personally provide tours in the Vatican, my friends do and I can connect you with them.

There is only one way through the Vatican but there are choices along the way, not everything is compulsory.

My tours let you pick and choose what you would like to see. Other companies just show you established routes.


the vatican tours

private vatican tours I charge per hour and I calculate that based on the average amount of time it takes to see that part of the Vatican.

The most efficient way through the Vatican starts in the Vatican Museums, progresses to the Sistine Chapel and then goes to St. Peter’s Basilica.

You can find descriptions of the various parts of the Vatican in the menu and then you can choose how long you would like your tour to be when you book below.


vatican tickets

vatican tickets All the tours I organise use skip the line tickets for the Vatican so you will experience no line or queue.

You can decide if the Museums are something you want to spend 30 minutes, an hour or two hours in before you enter the Sistine Chapel.


visiting the vatican

vatican tours If you want to see the Vatican properly and are genuinely interested in what it has to offer, this site is for you.

If you just want to ‘do the Vatican’, I would recommend a standard tour company instead.

In order to book a tour through me, English must be your native language and you must have full walking abilities; tours walking slow or taking breaks to sit down are no problem at all.

    My Vatican Tour reviews: Vatican Tour

    Rated 5.0/5 based on a selection 10 customer reviews out of thousands.

    • Dara was an Excellent Tour Guide

      We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Vatican and felt that we obtained a lot more information than we would have done on our own. Dara was an excellent tour guide who was well informed and able to deliver the information in an enjoyable way.
      5/5 Stars
    • Dara's Tour was Fantastic.

      Dara's tour was fantastic. He made 2000 years of history much more fun than expected. I would certainly take his tour again when I next visit Rome. I learned so much and had a great time. Thanks!
      5/5 Stars
    • By Far the Best I have Ever Experienced

      Having travelled a great deal, I have been on many tours in many places, but this tour was by far the best I have ever experienced! Dara delivered a lot of information in a quick and witty way. I am so glad we didn't try to visit the Vatican without a tour. Thanks so much for a wonderful day!

    • Excellent Work

      Our tour guide was very informative and knew the history of all the statues and art paintings and frescoes on the walls and ceilings. We are very glad we took this guided tour. We would not have known what we were looking at. Excellent work to Vatican tour and guide. Thanks!
      5/5 Stars
    • Wonderful Job

      Dara did a wonderful job. I wish we would have had him as our tour guide the entire time we were in Rome. He made the tour wonderfully entertaining and very educational. He placed just enough detail in the explanation to teach us but not bore us. He did an outstanding job. Thank you Dara!
