What you will see

Vatican Tour & Sistine Chapel

Begin your one day in Rome with a private Vatican Tour! Home to countless Popes, there are few more uplifting sights than this spiritually enrichening setting. Michelangelo’s unmissable Sistine Chapel with its sublime “Last Judgment” might be one, as this masterpiece draws crowds from far and wide.

We select the principal masterpieces for your Vatican exploration despite much on offer. Taking part in this Vatican Tour, you will enjoy a unique collection of mosaics, ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, and the magnificent Raphael Rooms, once the Pope’s official residence.

St. Peter’s Basilica

It is the largest globally and guaranteed to amaze all who visit. First, admire Michelangelo’s “Pietà,” then explore other highlights, including Bernini Baldaquin, before finally setting your gaze on the towering Basilica and its Dome.

Before ending your Vatican Tour, you will enjoy the curved colonnade of the square before a brief sighting of the Pope’s Balcony.

The most famous Rome highlights The Spanish Steps and Trevi Fountain.

Rome is famed for its eclectic array of fountains and squares, areas that the locals enjoy on sweltering days, and among Rome’s favorite places to visit. First, admire the Fontana Della Barcaccia and the Spanish Steps. The Italian name is “Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti,” from the church on the hill’s top. From here, dive into the back streets, searching for the Trevi Fountain, the largest and most spectacular fountain built at the end of one of the aqueducts to provide water to the urbanites. According to the legend, if tourists toss a coin over their left shoulder into the fountain’s waters, they ensure a return to Rome.

Pantheon (outside)

The final masterpiece among Rome’s most famous places is the Pantheon. Immaculately preserved and seemingly just a few centuries old, it isn’t easy to believe that the structure was finished in AD 128 by Emperor Hadrian. In the square in front – a gathering place for locals – discover a decorative 16th-century fountain beneath the Egyptian obelisk.

Piazza Navona

Finally, on this one day in Rome, we experience one of the city’s most prominent squares. The square is among the famous places to visit in Rome for one primary reason: Bernini’s “Fountain of the Four Rivers.” Built to represent The Nile, The Ganges, The Danube, and Rio de la Plata, the structure now sits amidst the artists who arrive to peddle their wares daily.

Limited Mobility Issues

Basilica and Sistine Chapel issues

The Vatican Museums visits involve SIGNIFICANT WALKING. Please provide any mobility and wheelchair access requirements. Also, visitors with limited mobility can contact us for special needs, such as wheelchairs or walkers. Please note that the pathway from the Sistine Chapel to St Peter’s Basilica has 50 steps downwards and is not wheelchair accessible. The Roman Forum and Palatine surfaces are uneven, but a considerable portion of the area has wheelchair paths. The tour will continue to the Basilica only if all members of your private group can walk down the stairs.

Also, note that other participants in your group will have to take charge of pushing the wheelchair. However, with the car at your disposal, we can organize the Basilica visit. Furthermore, a car at your disposal could help if the person with limited mobility needs rest. Contact us to organize it.
