Small-Group Tour of Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel

Book your preferred option and greet your guide near the Vatican. Bypass long lines with your skip-the-line tickets, wasting none of your precious sightseeing time.

Once inside, don your headsets and stay close to your guide, as you view the highlights of the collections, gathered by generations of cardinals and popes.

Experience must-sees, such as Bramante’s Belvedere courtyard, the Laocoon sculpture, the Raphael Rooms, the Hall of Tapestries and Gallery of Maps, and the sarcophagi of Emperor Constantine’s family. Hear the stories behind each artwork and build a picture of the 2,000 years of history the museums encapsulate.

Next, enter the Sistine Chapel to see Michelangelo’s frescoes, including 'The Last Judgment,' before enjoying direct entry into St. Peter’s Basilica. Admire the interior, including Bernini's altar canopy, Baldachin, with important background provided by your guide.

Your tour ends here, leaving you to explore independently, if you wish.
