Learn About the World’s Most Important Art Collections at the Vatican Museums

Kick off the first leg of this exciting VIP tour of Rome with skip-the-line entry to the stunning Vatican museums. After meeting your host near the Vatican Museum, you will be escorted by our host and skip the Vatican's infamous lines. You will be provided with a map to help you find your way around the Museum and navigate the works of the Sistine Chapel. From there, you are free to explore the museum at your own pace. Don't forget to check out the Gallery of Tapestries and Geographical Maps!

Dive into the Bloody History of the Colosseum with Access to the Arena Floor

Later that afternoon, you will then head to meet another host near the Colosseum to assist you with skipping lines at the Colosseum. With VIP access, skip the long ticketing line and make your way through security and into the world’s largest amphitheater ever. Benefit from direct access to the arena floor via the recently opened ‘Gladiator’s Entrance’. Walk the arena floor and learn all about the theatre’s bloody past. You will also gain access to the underground “backstage” of the arena and area where the Emperor’s box once stood, all areas that standard ticket holders don’t get to see. After touring the Colosseum, you will have the option of staying inside the Colosseum or follow our representative to take advantage of Skip the Line Access to the Roman Forum. You will then get to hike to the top of the Palatine Hill for a marvelous panoramic view of the Forum and Circus Maximus.
