Rome: Complete Early Morning Vatican Tour | Small Group

Rome
Tour Rating 4.9
Description
Meet at our comfortable offices less than a block from the museum entrance. Join our small group Vatican tour in the early morning with a top-notch tour guide and get early entrance to the Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museums & Raphael Rooms. In a small group, you will be able to discover with no rush the extraordinary abundance of history and art. Your guide will tour you through these corridors and halls, pointing out the exhibits on display. Once through, the Sistine Chapel awaits you. The finale of our early entry Vatican tours culminates in St. Peter’s Basilica. Majestic and inspired, it is the perfect place to come full circle on the morning’s itinerary. Feast your eyes on Michelangelo’s Pietà and admire the stunning interior of the dome he designed, as well as Bernini’s massive bronze baldachin sitting over the Pope’s private alter directly above St. Peter’s tomb and other little-known details that can only be spotted when inside!

Excellent! Tonia was our guide and we would do this tour with her all over again a thousand times over! Tonia was so knowledgeable about every area we walked through and expertly answered every question the group had. She was funny, engaging and you could tell she really cared about the history and culture she was sharing with us. We never had any issues hearing or understanding her, even when the crowds were very loud and she always made sure we knew where to go or meet her next! We will be talking about this tour for a long time and can’t wait to recommend to our friends and family! Everyone at What a Life Tours was so kind and we only wish we knew about them earlier, we would have booked all of our tours with them!
Ask for Elaine on this tour!
