Itinéraire
Avec notre entrée anticipée au Vatican, vous explorerez les musées du Vatican avant leur ouverture au grand public afin de pouvoir admirer la chapelle Sixtine dans une atmosphère plus intime avant de terminer avec un accès coupe-file à la basilique Saint-Pierre par une entrée réservée.
Commencez par un petit déjeuner à l'américaine dans la cour du Vatican parmi les vues majestueuses du Vatican avec une sérénité inégalée avant que le public ne soit autorisé à entrer.
Au cœur du Cortile della Pigna du Vatican se dresse une sculpture en bronze remarquable : Sfera con sfera (Sphère dans une sphère) de l'artiste italien Arnaldo Pomodoro. Cette œuvre captivante représente deux orbes fracturés ressemblant à des engrenages de machines complexes, symbolisant la nature complexe et fragile du monde moderne. Pomodoro a commencé à créer des sculptures similaires au début des années 1960, explorant le thème de la complexité.
Ensuite, rejoignez votre guide expert pour une visite semi-privée des musées du Vatican. Saunter le long de notre parcours soigneusement conçu pour admirer d'exquises collections d'art centenaires et merveilles archéologiques.
La Galerie de cartes des Musées du Vatican est une exposition envoûtante de cartographie complexe, couvrant plusieurs siècles. Plongez dans l'histoire à travers des cartes très détaillées, saisissant la beauté de la géographie et de l'art.
De là, visitez la chapelle Sixtine – le lieu de culte personnel du pape. Émerveillez-vous devant l'art de Michel-Ange en vous plongeant dans l'un des monuments les plus importants du monde.
Enfin, votre guide évitera les longues files d’attente pour vous faire entrer dans la basilique Saint-Pierre afin d’explorer l’un des piliers de l’église catholique. Restez dans la basilique Saint-Pierre après la visite pour découvrir cette église étonnante à votre guise, ou reculez devant la place Saint-Pierre pour admirer l'illusion d'optique intelligente du Bernin et la façade paradisiaque de la basilique.
La place Saint-Pierre, chef-d'œuvre emblématique de Rome, accueille les visiteurs par sa grandeur. Conçu par le Bernin, le vaste espace elliptique est entouré d'une majestueuse colonnade, symbolisant l'étreinte de l'Église. L'obélisque central et les fontaines ajoutent de la splendeur, tandis que la façade époustouflante de la basilique Saint-Pierre se dresse comme un phare de l'éclat architectural, invitant pèlerins et touristes à s'émerveiller au cœur de la Cité du Vatican.

This was our 3rd time visiting the Vatican and each time we have visited a little differently. This time we booked the VIP breakfast in the Vatican courtyard followed by a tour of the museum and Sistine chapel with entrance to the Basilica included. Eleonora was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide who maneuvered us through the crowded museum with ease. The breakfast left a little to be desired both in the food and also having to fight for our lives against bees and pigeons, but that isn’t on City Wonders. I just think on future trips we’d skip the breakfast and choose a different tour. This was our first time traveling here with our kids aged 15 and 10, so although this tour only hit the highlights of the museum (it’s SO huge!) that was ok with us as we knew our kids would not enjoy hours and hours walking around. We had plenty of time in the Sistine chapel, and then Eleonora got us into the Basilica where we toured on our own. Note that they DO offer other tours where you are guided through the basilica but we understood this tour didn’t include that and we were ok with that! If you want a guided tour of the Basilica, choose another option.
Anna was an amazing guide! She was very personable and knowledgeable and kept the group going smoothly and efficiently. My one complaint would be the ear pieces. They are very difficult to get them to stay on the ear.
Our guide Christian was very knowledgeable and passionate about the tour and provided an exceptional experience. Breakfast was tasty and a neat experience. Only thing I wish I knew beforehand is that the Vatican has several (13+ I think) museums and the tour can only accommodate going through a few of them or you’d be there for days. It definitely hit all the important parts we were looking to see but If there are specific parts that you want to see, you might want to plan a second timed entry for another day to get to experience more of the Vatican.
It was a wonderful tour made all the more delightful by our tour guide Francesca!
This was described as a breakfast at the Vatican and viewing of the galleries and chapel before the big crowds come in. We were very disappointed that it was incredibly crowded the entire time. Paying this fee did not deliver what we were hoping for. This was a very difficult experience because we paid for and expected a less crowded experience and instead we were headed around like crowded cattle.
Hi Tim_M, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. The Vatican Museums have become increasingly busy in recent years, and while breakfast tours provide one of the earliest entry times available, they unfortunately cannot guarantee empty galleries or a crowd-free experience and this is not in our tour description. On many days, there are multiple early-access groups entering at similar times, which is outside of our control. We appreciate your feedback and hope that, despite the crowds, you were still able to enjoy the extraordinary art and history of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel.
Fabulous and well organised tour taken my Marina, the perfect balance of art, interesting facts and humour from our experienced and professional guide. Group was a great size and mix of couples and other families. Highly recommend for families with teen children.
Preparing for the tour, I glanced at the reviews and saw a few negative ones first. Our experience was excellent. I think we had the best City Wonders guide, Silvia. She was amazing, knowledgeable. We learned a lot of interesting facts and stories. The breakfast was great--too much food I'd say.
Very good, Martina was amazing.
We loved the tour. The breakfast was more than enough food. The museum is filled with sculptures, frescos, artifacts and gorgeous architecture, while the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica are two must-see places in Rome. The tour is well worth the money as It was a very crowded day when we attended, but the staff was organized at the meeting point and our guide, Eleonora, was fantastic!. She was funny and entertaining while sharing information and stories throughout the tour, but also on top of keeping our group prepared for what was coming next and together amid the crowds each step of the way.
This City Wonders tour was by far the biggest disappointment of our three-week stay in Italy—a true masterclass in overpromising and underdelivering. The marketing paints the picture of a premium experience with early access and exceptional insight, but the reality couldn't have been further from the promise - it was a complete sham. The check-in staff were rude and irked that we tried to check-in 10 minutes early. The guide was lovely, but the tour itself was superficial—a fact that became even more obvious after experiencing the outstanding guides we had on every subsequent tour throughout Italy. Worst of all was the breakfast experience: the food was mediocre at best, and the staff were shockingly rude. For the price charged, this experience was nowhere near the standard advertised. Save your money! Much better tours out there!
Dear 418halag, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, particularly as we strive to provide a high-quality experience from check-in through to the end of the tour. We're disappointed to learn that you found the check-in process and breakfast service lacking, and we're sorry to hear that these interactions left you with a negative impression.

We take comments like yours seriously, as they help us identify areas where we can improve. If you would be willing to contact us directly with your booking reference or booking details, we'd appreciate the opportunity to investigate your experience further with the relevant teams. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope you'll give us the opportunity to look into this further.
