Description

Enjoy priority admission and experience the major highlights of Vatican City. Discover the Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel with a guided tour.
See one of the most important collections of art in the world at the Vatican Museums, which comprise more than 1,200 rooms. Walk in the footsteps of Popes and Renaissance Masters as you take in the Rooms of Raphael and of course the Sistine Chapel from its commissioning to the finishing touches by Michelangelo.
The Sistine Chapel is located at the far end of the galleries and your guide will ensure that you get there quickly, while seeing the most important masterpieces along the way.
Then, gain fast-track access to St. Peter's Basilica to view masterpieces by Michelangelo, Raphael, and Bernini among others before descending to the Papal crypts below. Finish the tour on the portico with an overview of Bernini’s St. Peter’s Square.
