Rome Private Vatican Express Tour with Gelato and Walk
This signature Pointours experience is crafted for curious travelers — and trusted by travel advisors — who value calm, connection, and beauty. Your private host will lead you into the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel in the late afternoon, just before closing, offering a peaceful, emotional visit away from the crowds.
After this spiritual encounter, enjoy a golden-hour discovery walk through the artisan soul of Rome: Via dei Coronari and Borgo Pio, two of the city's most picturesque and quiet streets. The experience ends in Piazza del Risorgimento, a local square perfect for relaxing before dinner.
You’ll finish with our personal recommendation for the best artisan gelato — a sweet finale to a truly meaningful experience.
Ideal for travel agents, hotel concierges, and advisors booking for couples, families, and VIP guests. Easy to confirm. Easy to trust. Delivered with care.
