What you’ll do
Pictures don't do the Vatican justice. From Michelangelo's iconic frescoes to Bramante's epic architecture, the holy city must be seen up close. It's even better with an expert guide who knows every detail.
With one of our guides, you'll skip the lines and explore the Vatican Museum's world-class collection with humorous insights into masterpieces and lesser-known treasures. Your access includes the Sistine Chapel, where you can admire the ceiling and The Last Judgement.
This experience is hosted in English.

This tour is the best way to see the Vatican City! The ability to "skip the line" was worth every penny. Even with the ability to skip the line, it was still 20-30 min of waiting, but hours less than the people not in this tour. Our guide was extremely well versed in the history of Vatican City. he made sure to keep the group together, respected every rule of the grounds and spent as much time as needed to answer any questions. absolutely incredible experience! Do not think twice about booking the tour

It was a beautiful and moving tour. Andrea was very knowledgeable and so kind and fun! I was running late a they waited for me. I was embarrassed an felt bad for my fellow tourist friends but everyone was so nice and Andrea guided me to meet them and waited for me as I ran up the cobblestone to catch up. Highly recommend she was a fabulous tour guide and answered all questions with full confidence and knowledge.

For nearly ten years I’ve crossed the Vatican’s threshold almost every single day, learning its rhythms, hidden shortcuts, and stories that don’t make it into the guidebooks. On our visit I’ll lead you through the heart of the Papal State—the Vatican Museums and Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel—sharing context about art, history, and daily life inside the walls. My routine access lets us use a fast-track entrance and spend more time discovering.
