The Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel are an essential part of any trip to Rome and with this tour, you can bypass the line and see the highlights before everyone else waiting in the queue outside.
With No Wait Access enabling your group of no more than 20 to skip past even the priority lines, you'll start in the Vatican Museums. Your knowledgeable English-speaking guide will highlight the ancient sculptures, tapestries and paintings and an individual headset means you'll hear every word, with no need to huddle round in a group.
As well as the Raphael Rooms with their famous frescoes, you'll experience the grandeur of the Sistine Chapel. Your guide will point out highlights of Michelangelo's masterpieces, including the Creation of Adam, and explain the characters and stories within.
Once you've taken in the magnificent chapel, your guide will share their knowledge of the treasures contained in St Peter's Basilica, making sure you know exactly what to look out for. You'll then pass by the crowds again and get special No Wait Access to the Basilica, where you'll have as long as you like to enjoy the side chapels, the stunning altar and Michelangelo's famous sculpture La Pieta with your full guided tour inside the Basilica.
