7.Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel VIP Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 35 reviews · from $84

Meet near the Vatican Museums for a 2.5-hour guided visit through major galleries and the Sistine Chapel. You’ll use skip-the-line entry, an English-speaking licensed guide, and an audio headset. St. Peter’s Basilica access may be available, but the Vatican Authority can change that.

“It's a shame that the time of our tour was changed from 2:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. the evening before. This meant that we were unable to visit St. Peter's Basilica, which was actually very important to us. The guide was also very difficult to understand and paid little attention to the group. Next time I would prefer to book this tour with a different provider.”

8.Experience Luxury: Private Museum, Vintage Car Ride

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 26 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $104

Spend 2.5 hours in Udaipur with a vintage car ride around Lake Pichola, a private collection of Cadillacs, Dodges, Mercedes cars, bikes, and cycles, then high tea by the infinity pool at Fateh Garh. English and Hindi hosts are available, and the group is private.

“Seeing the timeless beauties manufactured by Cadillac, Dodge, Mercedes, and others at the vintage car museum made me feel like I was revisiting my university days from Europe, an opulent experience and in line with what the destination represents. I had a genuinely fun time throughout the museum tour and on the 1930's vintage Mercedes car ride discovering one wonder after the other. The host, Mukul, went the extra mile to get us the experience that we deserved. Worth trying at least once, comes highly recommended from a traveller and car enthusiast.”
