Top 15 Morning Tours in Rome

1.Early Morning Vatican, Sistine, St. Peter’s Semi or Private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,779 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $240.65Our pick

Early entry small-group tour of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica with skip-the-line access and VIP entry.

“This is the way and time to see the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica. We took our time in the museum, but we skipped the Rafael rooms because we were a little overwhelmed. Our guide David got us into the Sistine Chapel and it was maybe 1/4 full. He said he had never seen it so open. The museum itself is a showcase of Roman art, mainly statuary. Having a private guide lets you spend more time where you are interested and less where you aren’t. This was a great informative tour.”

“We booked the evening tour for which I thought would give us time to see everything without getting overheated. The guide did the best he could in the amount of time that he had but it felt a little rushed because it was closing soon. I felt like we missed a lot & I was bummed that there wasn't time to see the basilica like I was hoping. Again - this isn't the guide's fault but still a little disappointing.”
