The 10 Best Private Tours in Vatican City, Lazio

June 22, 2021 Moriah Teneyck

Sure, Vatican City is tiny—110 acres—but it houses the world's largest Catholic church (St. Peter's Basilica) and has perhaps the best collection of artistic masterpieces in the world (the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo's Pieta, the Laocoon Group, etc.). And maybe only 800 people live here, but one of them's the Pope. It's a pretty good argument for quality over quantity.

We booked a driver to go to the airport early morning in Roma but the driver never came... Impossible to reach him by phone. As often, Uber is more efficient and cheaper

Great experience! The day before the Arena only has been close to visits. The agency Tours of Rome was very nice and professional by offering a lot of good alternatives, including full reimboursement. We took the tour anyway and the guide has been incredibly good, highly knowledgeable (he is an archeologist), nice and spent really a lot of extra-time in the tour in order to see other Parts of the Coliseum, as a compensation for the Arena. In fact, He took care of us for more than an extra-hour, with passion and a lot of competence. The agency is very reliable and helpful, all people are kind. The guide is top.

When our flight from London to Olbia was cancelled my family and I had to plan a different way to reach Sardinia. We decided to fly to Rome, then take the ferry from Civitavecchia. There was not much time between the flight landing in Fiumicino and the ferry departing Civitavecchia, but thanks to Best Rome Driver we had no problems at all. The service was excellent, efficient and most of all completely stress free for us. We arrived to the port in perfect time to catch the ferry. Don't hesitate to book Best Rome Driver, you won't be disappointed. Outstanding service

Private entry at the Vatican is always a special experience. Even our seasoned guides who have seen it countless times appreciate the opportunity to admire art in this setting. You may be surprised to learn that the Vatican oversees over 6 million visitors each year, so entering alone can soon prove to be an overwhelming and painful ordeal. - We recommend reserving this private tour with us to customize your experience for you and you family. We promise that this family/child-friendly setting will satisfy ever member of your group (our guides are known to keep the little ones intrigued!) Should we also mention Michelangelo’s frescoed ceilings of the Sistine Chapel?? This beautiful masterpiece needs no introduction. No line = no stress! (not to mention that you get to steer clear of the sun and unbearable heat during the summer months!) - We offer two time slots for this private tour experience (morning or afternoon). Have your pick!

The Vatican tour with Giuliano has been the best one we’ve had in a long time. Giuliano has the extraordinary capacity of recreating the atmosphere of ancient times, of integrating the information in the whole,of graduating the sequence of masterpieces, while being extremely knowledgeable and humorous at the same time. I would definitely recommend his guidance to all tourists coming to Rome
