With an expert, English-speaking guide leading the way, you’ll see all the highlights of the Vatican City (Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica) in just two hours. Plus, you will get a chance to enter the Sistine Chapel 30 minutes before other tour groups and 90 minutes before the general public. You will also visit the tombs of the most important Popes of all time in a special crypt beneath St. Peter’s Basilica.

Visit the rooms that are covered by the basic Vatican Museums tour plus the Bramante Staircase, and the Vatican Pinacoteca.
 
The Vatican Museums are home to over nine miles of art, much of which is never seen by the general public, either for timing or access reasons.
 
This special No Wait Access tour crosses velvet ropes to gain rare access to the famous Bramante Staircase, a dizzying spiral of carved stone built in 1512 inside a square tower. It once bore the weight of horses, but few ever set foot on it these days, making this visit particularly special.

Take a 4-hour tour of the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica, and St. Peter's Square. Enjoy the skip the line access for the best Vatican experience.

This tour is available at 9am or 2pm. Pick up at your hotel will be scheduled about 30 minutes before the tour begins.

Exact time will be provided in final documents. Pick up at your hotel.
