Private Tour

Group tours are a nice — a really exceptional — way to experience Rome, the Vatican, and the Vatican Museums.  However, the timing of an organized tour or pilgrimage does not always fit into one’s schedule.  And, some Patrons just prefer traveling and exploring on their own.  We have a solution for that.  As an Individual or Family Standard Level Michigan Chapter Patron, Junior Level, or Clergy Level you are entitled to a private tour of the Vatican Museums when you visit Rome on your own personal holiday. 

NOTE:  Please see the JOIN page to review Benefits available to Patrons based on their Membership Level.

NOTE:  All private visits and tours must be scheduled at least three weeks in advance.

NOTE:  All members of your party participating in the Private Tour must be Standard Level Patrons,  
Junior Level, or Clergy Level.

Scheduling Your Private Tour

When planning a trip to Rome that will include a visit to the Vatican Museums and enjoying the benefits of your Patron membership there are a few required steps that will ensure a joyful experience. 

  1. Select one or more dates that you plan to be in Rome and would like to have your private tour.

Self-Guided Tour

All Standard Level, Junior Level and Clergy Level Patrons have complimentary entry to the Vatican Museums (free and without standing in line!) any time they are in Rome.  If you prefer a Self-Guided Tour, please notify the MI-PAVM Office before you go so that personnel at the museum entrance can be made aware of your privileged status.
