Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica guided tour with guaranteed entry: two of Rome's most visited sites in a single experience, without walking around the Vatican walls or losing your morning at the entrances.
Entry to St Peter's Basilica is free, but it means a second security screening in the square, which can run well over an hour in high season. On this tour you go straight in from the Vatican Museums, through an exclusive passage reserved for groups accompanied by an authorised guide: you don't repeat the screening, and you walk straight into the largest church in the world instead of spending that time queuing.
The guided tour covers the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel in a group of up to 20 people. You'll walk the Gallery of Maps and the Gallery of Tapestries, discover the masterpieces of the Pio-Clementine Museum and finish in front of Michelangelo's frescoes: The Creation of Adam and The Last Judgement. Since talking is not allowed inside the Sistine Chapel, your guide explains these masterpieces in full before you go in.
At the end of the route, your guide takes you through to St Peter's Basilica, where the visit continues on your own: you can linger as long as you like in front of Michelangelo's Pietà and Bernini's Baldachin, at your own pace.
Book now with free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

Our guide Jean Paul was fantastic, it was a very hot day (37 degrees) and he made sure he still completed the tour but with movement to shade as needed. He was so knowledgable and made sure to make the facts and information interesting for our teenagers too!

Vatican Tour and Sistine Chapel with St. Peter's Basilica Entrance
The instructions to meet were clear and the agent was there in time to pair us with our tour guide, Raoul. With about 19 ppl in the time slot we were in, he did a good job keeping us together and we were inside within 20 minutes of our tour time! He provided us some really insightful information and also kept in humorous. Sistine chapel is simply breathtaking! Great idea to invest in this option else with the regular crowd, it can get overwhelming

Great value. Julia managed well a group of 19 for a timed entry through the Vatican museum and Sistine chapel. She offered suggestions for what we may do with our time after the tour, provided interesting facts throughout our tour, and answered questions thoroughly on a very hot and busy Saturday at a top attraction. Very impressed with her talent and the value.

unfortunately I can't remember the name of our tour guide today 28/5 at 8.30am! she was brilliant, very knowledgeable,funny and always answered our questions. Tours can be long and boring... this one wasn't. Vatican is overwhelming...so much history, so much to look at...a week wouldn't be enough...but she picked interesting parts and told us interesting history... definitely recommend! Thank you
