Railbookers has introduced its first VIP experience that travel advisors can book for clients seeking rare access opportunities in Italy.
“We’re thrilled to offer our guests this extraordinary event, exploring one of the world’s most iconic sites in a serene, intimate environment,” said Frank Marini, President & CEO of Railbookers Group, in a press statement. “By offering an exclusive event like this, we are breaking the mold for independent travel. The chance to enjoy the Vatican after hours, away from the crowds, is a rare, unforgettable experience that is not to be missed.”
After Hours with Railbookers
The After Hours at the Vatican event, scheduled for Sep. 8, 2025, offers a limited number of guests private entry to the Vatican Museums after regular visitors have departed. Your lucky clients will gain two hours of uninterrupted exploration through the institution’s halls and galleries, viewing artistic masterpieces and historical treasures in exceptional tranquility—a stark contrast to the typical daytime experience.
This exclusive access allows visitors to stand beneath the iconic Sistine Chapel ceiling painted by Michelangelo and walk the grounds of the Holy See without navigating through crowds. The evening concludes with a traditional Italian apericena, combining the casual atmosphere of aperitivo with a light dinner service.
You can book clients into Railbookers’ unique experience through three new itineraries created specifically for this event. Masterpieces by Rail: London to Rome with Vatican Access connects two major European capitals with this special evening. Rome, Naples & Sorrento with Exclusive Vatican Experience combines the Vatican visit with southern Italian coastal destinations. Venice, Florence & Rome with After-Hours Vatican Access offers a classic Italian cities tour enhanced by this private museum entry.
Each package features luxury accommodations in 5-star properties, private and small-group tours at key attractions, private transfers throughout and first-class rail transportation between destinations. All itineraries remain customizable to suit individual client preferences and requirements.
