Extraordinary Entry Sistine Chapel: Official VIP Vatican

9. Extraordinary Entry Sistine Chapel: Official VIP Vatican

As the most unforgettable way of experiencing the Sistine Chapel, this experience gives you the choice of when you’d like to enjoy VIP access. The morning tour gives you an unprecedented look inside the sacred halls of the Vatican at sunrise. In the evening, you’ll stay inside the gates after they close to the general public for a relaxing after-hours visit. Either way, you’ll enjoy the same exquisite, crowd-free experience at the Sistine Chapel and explore with a knowledgeable official Vatican guide. On the morning tour, you’ll arrive at the Vatican as the sun begins to rise over Rome and access the Museum at 7:30 am — much earlier than when many other "early access” experiences begin. View the galleries and Raphael Rooms as you make your way to the Sistine Chapel as the first visitors to enter the Vatican Museums for the day. As the crowning moment of your experience, you’ll step into the Sistine Chapel with a select small group of other visitors with VIP Access. The next 20 minutes are all yours to contemplate the Chapel in impeccable silence with just a handful of other visitors around — a far cry from the crowds that will arrive later in the day. By 9:15 am, you’ll be settled in the Pinecone Courtyard, ready to enjoy a homemade breakfast spread in the historic and picturesque surroundings. If you opt for the evening tour, you’ll meet your official Vatican guide at 3:30 pm and enter the Museums with skip-the-line tickets. Breeze past the crowds as you head off to visit the majestic galleries and Raphael Rooms, following the last wave of visitors for the day. Just after 5 pm, as the Sistine Chapel is closing to the public for the day, you'll step inside after the crowds and enjoy VIP access with just a select small group of other visitors. After the near-empty Chapel has taken your breath away, you'll head to the Pinecone Courtyard, ready to toast the day with a spritz or glass of prosecco together with a light dinner buffet.

What people are saying about Vatican City

amazing experience! I went in late november and and there was a huge storm when i was meant to go and the tour company graciously helped me rebook for a clearer day. my driver was Giovanni and he was great! so many great stories and fun facts and was sooooo nice to drop me off at my hotel after.

It was fun way to see the Rome. Most of the places that we visited with this tour were places that we couldn’t go by ourselves. Tour guide was really nice and knowledgeable. You can pick your drop off location.

absolutely brilliant would highly recommend the driver was fantastic we learned so much would do again if we come back 5*

Absolutely would recommend to anyone who has the time! The slower pace allows you to see another side of Rome.

Everything went really smoothly and we received good instructions and tips
