Private access to the Sistine Chapel and several of the Vatican’s special sites

Up until recently, private access to the Sistine Chapel and tours of other rooms not available for public viewing were offered only to celebs, dignitaries and other VIPs. While not everyone may be starring in the latest blockbuster or governing international powers, travellers can now experience several of the Vatican’s special sites – think private chambers, intimate rooms and rarely seen collections – escorted by a Vatican guard with one major key ring. Dark Rome, the largest tour operator in the Vatican, now exclusively offers unmatched access to such sites with its three-hour VIP Vatican and Private Sistine Chapel Tour. The tour includes access to restricted sites as well as 30 minutes alone inside the Sistine Chapel. The VIP Vatican and Private Sistine Chapel Tour is offered on Mondays and Saturdays at 3:15 p.m for 220€ (approximately $290USD) per person inclusive of a ‘skip-the-line’ entrance ticket.
