What this combo includes

  1. Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel Guided Tour with Entry Ticket
  2. St. Peter's Basilica Ticket

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.
