Vatican Museums

A private tour of the Vatican Museums carries you through galleries filled with ancient marbles, Renaissance treasures, and Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel, composing a journey where devotion and beauty align seamlessly with your rhythm of travel.
Raphael Rooms

You will be fascinated by the Raphael Rooms, not only by their beauty as soon as your eyes feast upon the previous private pope apartments but also for the hidden political messages entwined through the fantastic frescos he left. Raphael was called to work in the Vatican when he was just 25 years old, by the Pope Julius II and from that day he was a great rival of Michelangelo, who are both considered masters of the Renaissance Age.
Sistine Chapel

Galleries glowing with masterpieces, Michelangelo’s ceiling alive in the Sistine Chapel, and the grandeur of St. Peter’s Basilica beyond—private tours align these moments into a seamless journey of beauty, refinement, and depth.

Castel Sant' Angelo without "Il Passetto"

Castel Sant'Angelo, a circular castle along the city's river. The castle has seen a lot of change from its original use as a leafy top tomb for Emperor Hadrian.

Also offering grand panoramic views of Rome.

Colosseum

No time to do a full Colosseum tour? Make it quick! Marvel at this epic engineering feat of the ancient Romans, one of the most amazing attractions of the Ancient World, and a highlight of any trip to Rome. Your guide will bring to life the stories of this iconic monument, its famed gladiators and the emperors who made it all happen. Visit the place where Romans once gathered to watch the gladiator games, battles with wild beasts, and according to legend, sea battles. Discover how the Colosseum, a massive stone amphitheater which seated an estimated 60,000 spectators, was built in only 8 years. Your guide will unlock fascinating stories of the design and construction, the political benefit, the fighters, and the eventual end of the games at the Colosseum.

Catacombs of Domitilla

The quiet tunnels will come to life as your guide tells you the stories and legends of early Christianity during the days of Roman persecution. The catacombs were the underground burial places of the early Christian and Jewish communities. You will discover the secrets of Christianity's earliest proponents who helped Christianity survive during the persecution from Rome's pagan emperors.

Capuchin's Bone Crypt

The Capuchin Crypt is a small space comprised of several tiny chapels located beneath the church of Santa Maria della Concezione dei Cappuccini on Via Veneto near Piazza Barberini. You'll be amazed by the strangely decorated Capuchin Chapel - which displays the bones of over 4,000 Capuchin monks! The Capuchin order insists that the display is not meant to be creepy, but instead, a silent reminder of the swift passage of life on Earth and our own mortality. An extra fee will apply if transportation is requested. ** Please note admission tickets are not included and will be purchased on site.
