Disabled accessible sightseeing tours of Rome

We are specialized in tours for the disabled and who has mobility problems. It is very important for us to be able to provide a service to whom otherwise would find hard to visit Rome. We are very proud that, whit the help of our guides, everyone can get close to Rome’s beautiful monuments, churches, etc and can visit Rome either on their own or with family and friends, in a comfortable manner. Our tours will ensure that you maximize your time sightseeing whilst your guide will fascinate you with Rome’s history. The fact that the golf cart will almost always take you to the entrance of the sights is fundamental for who has a problem with mobility.

Sightseeing in Rome with a mobility problem? Resolved!
Tour in a golf cart, with a private guide!

If walking is a problem but you want to see Rome, this is the tour for you!
Touring by golf cart is the very best way to tour Rome for a disabled person, who has a wheelchair, stroller or even just a senior citizen! We have special golf carts that accommodate three people and store a wheelchair! Everyone sits facing forward, no-one feels excluded. The golf cart makes the tour of Rome very special and easy for people with walking problems. These little electric cars are allowed to drive practically anywhere, especially if a disabled person is aboard.  The golf carts are very easy to get in and out of even for people with limited mobility, they have no doors.
Please note that our largest golf cart takes 7 passengers but if there is a wheelchair this will reduce the space to 5 passengers (plus the wheelchair). Groups of 6 and over will need 2 or more golf carts.

Tours start at 9.30am e 2.30pm
We have a variety of tour available that you can view here.

The Tour of the Vatican for seniors and disabled

The place is normally less crowded in the afternoon, so we suggest starting this tour around 2:00 or 2:30 pm.
The tour takes 3 hours and basically includes the Belvedere Courtyard, Pigna Courtyard, Library Gallery, Gallery of Tapestries, Gallery of Maps and finally to the Sistine Chapel.
The itinerary may vary depending on how the Vatican will organize the flow of visitors on the day of your visit.
Please note that if there are non-disabled people in your group, the group will be split, as the lift used for the disabled is very small. Your guide will instruct you about where to reunite.
Your specialized, English speaking, Vatican tour guide will explain everything as you stroll through the galleries and museums to finally arrive at the Sistine Chapel. Nobody is allowed to talk in the Sistine Chapel, your guide will use the pictures displayed in the Museums to tell you all about the frescoes before entering the room and give you a pamphlet with pictures and captions that will remind you, once you are alone contemplating the chapel, what the guide explained.
Guides speaking other languages are also available.

Special for those with mobility issues
Vatican Museums & St. Peter Basilica
Private Tour - Duration 5 Hours

Crucial: Your disability must be proven by a statement from a hospital or doctor. Duration about 5 hours including transfers.
Private guided tour of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica. The tour is led by a private guide, and guests are provided with skip-the-line tickets. This tour includes transfers by private car from your place of stay to the Vatican Museums, from the Vatican Museums to St. Peter’s and then back to your place of stay.

What makes visiting the Vatican difficult for people with walking aids is that they are not allowed to go down the steps that connect the Sistine Chapel to St. Peter’s Square, even if they physically could.

  • The Vatican tour for people with mobility issues lasts 5 hours because we include all private car transfers for our guests throughout the tour:
    • from their place of stay to the Vatican Museums
    • from the Vatican Museums to St. Peter’s
    • from St. Peter’s back to their place.

The transfer from the Vatican Museums to St. Peter’s is crucial because people with walking aids are not allowed to go down the steps that connect the Sistine Chapel to St. Peter’s Square, even if they physically could.

Not being able to use this shortcut, to reach St. Peter’s, they should walk back to the entrance of the Vatican Museums and, from there, reach St. Peter’s from the outside.

Not counting the internal part of the Vatican Museums, this would be an extra mile to walk.
