Early Bird Vatican tour with Breakfast | Semi-Private

Tour Description

*A maximum of eight participants are permitted for this tour*

The Italians have a saying: chi dorme non piglia pesci – he who sleeps won’t catch any fish. We might say that the early bird catches the worm. But given that this is the Vatican, the heart of the Catholic Church, the fish seems more appropriate! Your early-bird Vatican tour lets you seize the day, ensuring you’re first inside the Vatican and getting the most out of your time in Rome.

Starting with a breakfast fit for the Pope in the Vatican Museum’s verdant Pinecone Courtyard, you’ll be thoroughly energized to meander through the expansive halls of the Vatican Museums, gaze up at the stunning ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and explore the world-renowned Vatican Museums.

Meet bright and early outside the Vatican Museums then enter for breakfast

Meeting your licensed guide at 7:15 am outside the entrance to the Vatican Museums, you’ll walk straight into the Vatican with VIP entrance long before the crowds arrive. A bountiful American breakfast buffet will be waiting for you in the Pinecone Courtyard, served hot and ready to energize you for a phenomenal trip through centuries of art and legends.

Explore the inspirational collection of the Vatican Museums

Roam the expansive halls with your licensed guide, who will regale you with stories that will bring the Vatican’s repertory to life. Explore the shifting terrains in the Gallery of Maps and revel in folklore and history in the Gallery of Tapestries.

Make your way in perfect peace and quiet toward the Sistine Chapel

The ultimate work of Michelangelo is just ahead, enchanting all who look upon it with its famed frescoes. Witness the Sistine Chapel in the gloriously soft morning light, illuminating the symbolic figures and impeccable details in this work of grandeur and transcendence.
