Highlights
  • Vatican Museums - This Exclusive Private tour of the Vatican Museums at Night is a great way to beat the crowds and the heat, and see Vatican masterpieces from a different light, in a soft, romantic evening glow. In the luxury of your very own Private Group you will enjoy the privilege of touring the Vatican grounds in an intimate and personalised way.

Enjoy skip the line entry to the museums and explore his vast wonders after the heat and bustle of the daytime crowds has gone. See the Gallery of Maps, the Hall of Animals, the Gallery of Tapestries, the Pinecone Courtyard, Raphael’s Rooms and SO much more! Your head is sure to spin with all the incredible Art you will see!

  • Sistine Chapel - Of course this wonderful Vatican tour includes access to the incredible Sistine Chapel. Although it is true there is something to be said for the early morning light in the Sistine Chapel, we believe there is even more to be said about its magical evening glow. Rome is famous for its “golden hour” which is that fleeting, enchanted moment just before dusk when the city seems to turn to Pure Gold. This lighting seeps into the Sistine Chapel, through stained glass windows during those late summer sunsets, and it is truly a sight not to be missed.
  • St. Peter’s Square - Your comprehensive Vatican tour concludes with VIP entrance directly into St. Peter’s Basilica without standing in the long lines. Walking through the Basilica, you will learn all about the secrets of the magnificent and ornate decorations, sculptures, altars and chapels. Visit Michelangelo’s Pieta and walk down the main nave to admire the dome he designed that sits on top of the largest Catholic church in the world.

NOTE: The passage between the Sistine Chapel and Saint Peter’s Basilica is currently closed due to covid-19 physical distancing measures. This means that in order to enter the Church your tour will need to go around the Vatican State walls. we will do our best to include a tour of the Basilica, but this may not always be possible due to the distance between the sites and the security line. In the event, this would not be possible, our guides will ensure a complete orientation of the Basilica so that you will collect the information prior to your visit.

Private Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel Tour - We loved our evening Vatican tour with Lia! She treated us as though we were family. She was incredibly knowledgeable and very excited to tell us all about the artifacts and history of the museums. The museums were crowded, but not so crowded that we couldn’t find a place to hear what Lia was telling us and move about freely. Highly recommend the evening tour. At the end of our tour Lia even helped us with recommendations for restaurants. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone taking a tour of the Vatican. I will be returning in 2025 with my mom and sister-in-law, and plan to book another Vatican tour with your company (and hopefully with Lia again).

Fantastic 2 days with Superb guides - We purchased a 2 day Rome pass and while sitting in Australia thought it was a bit pricey. How wrong we were - worth every cent/penny . Today we did the Vatican / Cistine chapel but to be honest the highlights were prior to those absolutely stunning places. Barbara who is an archaeologist originally and still passionate about it took us to a church with 4 layers from multiple centuries and explained how an Irish priest had discovered the underlying buildings and started the excavations. Just a small example of the information overload ( not bad) we experienced throughout the 2 days we spent. I cannot recommend highly enough the value of this tour and the individuals ( in our case Barbara and Paola F) who are passionate and knowledgeable about everything to do with the beautiful city of Roma. Thank you LIV tours

No more searches. We have a winner, Liv Tours - I took my niece and her 2 children to Rome. It was actually their first trip abroad. I booked a private Liv night tour of the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel. Liv tours responded quickly to any questions we had. The tour guide, Giuseppe, was FANTASTIC in every conceivable way. Some friends will be coming to Rome next. I’m already planning a Vatican and Sistine chapel night tour with Liv tours for them. I know they will not be disappointed.

Vatican 7:30am tour - Lucy was our tour guide for the 7:30 Vatican tour for 6 people. She was fantastic and very informative. We met at the designated location right outside the Vatican. There was a special like for tours. It was about 9:45 when we went inside Sistine Chapel. We saw and learned a lot of information prior to that time. The tour ends at the Basilica. Tour was totally worth it and I’m glad we did. I also had my 20 year old and 17 year old with us and they enjoyed it also. Totally worth it.
