Your experience

Get ready to beat the crowds by booking a guided tour of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel to skip past the ticketing line.

Enjoy immediate entry and get set to be blown away by the masterpieces of Michelangelo and Raphael within the Vatican Museums.

Your guide will take you through the fantastic galleries, which include the Pio-Clementino Museum, the Gallery of Candelabra, Tapestries, and Maps.

Then visit the famous Sistine Chapel, where Michelangelo's incredible frescoes such as The Creation of Adam or the Last Judgment just burst in front of your eyes.

No guide can ever explain anything inside the Chapel but your guide will make a detailed background briefing on everything before you step in that mysterious area.

This early morning tour provides a real chance to experience the stories and craftsmanship behind the 20,000 masterpiece exhibits in four incredible miles of art, sculptures, tapestries, paintings, and architectural gems.
