About this activity
Looking for an easy, classic tour visiting the highlights of the Vatican Museums? What about Fast Track access to all areas? This is the Vatican tour for you. Choose a tour in English, German, French or Italian for a guide that exclusively speaks your language.
In small groups of 20 people or less, our five-star guides will lead you straight to most important areas of the Vatican Museums. After enjoying Skip the Line access - you'll begin a classic itinerary of the must-see sights. This includes stops in the Pinecone Courtyard, the Belvedere Courtyard, Room of the Muses, the Round Room, the Candelabra Gallery, Gallery of the Tapestries and Gallery of the Maps.
This tour culminates inside the Vatican Museums at Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. Rules are rules, and your guide will be unable to speak while you are inside. However, your guide will prepare you for your visit to this world wonder beforehand.
After free time in the Sistine Chapel - you'll enjoy Skip the Line passage to St. Peter's Basilica and a full guided tour inside.
This tour ends at St. Peter's Basilica from where you will be free to explore other areas of Vatican City on your own, or spend more time inside of the Basilica.
*Please note: Tours departing on Wednesdays do not visit the inside of St. Peter's Basilica due to the weekly Papal Audience. It is also possible that due to Papal events, some planned in advance and some at the last minute, that access to St. Peter's Basilica from the Vatican Museums will be closed or that the Basilica will be completely closed off to the public. In these cases, we will do our best to inform guests ahead of time and provide alternatives. This is not always possible, however, and in the case of a last minute interruption, extra time will be spent exploring the Vatican Museums. In such cases, no partial refunds will be provided.
2:15PM SMALL GROUP TOUR - UPGRADE available to our 2:15PM small group departure. Choose this option for a group of 10 people or less with a dedicated guide as well as access to special rooms not available on the group tour.
