About this tour

See Rome’s celebrated landmarks in one private day, pairing a guided Vatican visit with a chauffeur-driven ride through the city. Your Rome Vatican tour begins with private hotel pickup and a guided visit to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel, with skip-the-line Vatican entry. Your certified guide brings the art and history to life, then explains St. Peter’s Basilica from outside while helping you make the most of your time.

A private luxury car takes you past the Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Circus Maximus, Palatine Hill, and Colosseum, all viewed from outside. The driving portion is customizable, and the car service ends at the restaurant. Pause for a traditional lunch with a starter, main course, and water included; spirits and other extras are not included. The tour lasts 330 minutes, and Colosseum admission and drop-off are not provided.

Expect substantial walking at the Vatican and Ancient Rome sights. St. Peter’s Basilica can close without notice, and the group stays together if access is unavailable. Choose this Rome Vatican tour for a guided look at the city’s great art and landmarks, with private transport and lunch woven into the day.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 5 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.4. Top 28% in Rome means it ranks in the top 28% of tours in Rome by this score.
