About this experience
On the Complete Vatican Tour, you will explore the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica over the course of a little more than 3 hours. This tour includes skip-the-line tickets, allowing you to bypass regular queues and access major attractions as well as some lesser-known sites. It is suitable for those looking to maximize their visit within a short timeframe. If you prefer a more relaxed experience, consider the Vatican Express Tour with Sistine Chapel, which is designed for a later visit when crowds have diminished. Please note that St. Peter's Basilica is not part of this express tour.

Cortile della Pigna

Stanze di Raffaello
Visit the Raphael Rooms, widely considered to be among the most beautifully-frescoed interiors on earth.

Sistine Chapel
Step inside the Sistine Chapel to marvel at Michelangelo’s frescoes. Your guide can’t speak inside, but before they take you in they’ll tell you what to look for and give you the surprisingly acrimonious story behind the famous room. Soak up the little details like Michelangelo’s self-portrait and hidden insults in the Last Judgement.
