Description

Discover the Best of the Vatican with Skip-the-Line Access Explore the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and enjoy exclusive skip-the-line access to St. Peter’s Basilica on this expertly guided small group tour. Follow a carefully designed itinerary that maximizes your time while showcasing the Vatican’s most celebrated highlights. Skip the ticket lines and dive straight into the Vatican Museums, home to classical sculptures like the Laocoon and Apollo Belvedere, and Renaissance masterpieces by Michelangelo and Raphael. Gaze up at Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling, and let your expert guide reveal the hidden stories behind his legendary work. Then, delve into the Raphael Rooms, where you’ll explore iconic frescoes like the School of Athens—often missed by rushed visitors. After the Sistine Chapel, avoid the long public queues with direct skip-the-line access to St. Peter’s Basilica*—a privilege available only on select guided tours. Inside, you’ll explore the world’s largest church at your own pace, surrounded by centuries of religious and artistic history. Note: For reservations made less than 72 hours in advance, skip-the-line access to St. Peter’s Basilica cannot be guaranteed, and the tour will end in the Vatican Museums.**
