Hi Everyone! My adult daughter and I are scheduled for the classic group A Week in Venice, Florence, Rome tour Sept 15-22, 2024. Unfortunately, Tauck is no longer offering the before or after hours private tour of the Vatican. Their tour takes place during the typical crowded hours. BUT, at the hotel where we are all staying, they DO OFFER A PRIVATE BEFORE HOURS TOUR of the Vatican, where a group up to 10 people go in the morning (leaving at 5:30am on Sat Sept 21) and OPEN THE DOORS to the Vatican privately for a 2 hour tour. The cost is 10,500 Euros for 2 to 10 people (fixed cost.) Although this amount is prohibitive for only 2 people, if we gathered a group of 10 from our tour, the price would be closer to $1000 each. Would anyone be interested in this? This exclusive experience is listed on the website of our hotel, Palazzo Ripetta (under exclusive), so I emailed the concierge, who provided the specific info about this tour. I would love to share the cost on this, as it sounds absolutely amazing! Please reply if you're interested! We could do this through the hotel concierge! I tried to post a pic of the tour description here:
