Explore Rome's Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel with an English-speaking guide on the last Sunday of the month, on dates when the Museums offer free admission. Your payment covers the guided tour, organisation and headsets; museum admission itself is free.
This is a shared guided tour, not a skip-the-line ticket. Everyone joins the public admission queue and completes security checks. Waiting times vary. Check in 30 minutes before the booked activity time: by 08:00 for the 08:30 activity. The booked time is not a guaranteed museum entry time.
Discover the Vatican collections and Michelangelo's masterpieces with your guide. The Sistine Chapel is a place of worship: explanations are provided before entering, and silence is required inside.
St. Peter's Basilica, passage to the Basilica and the dome are not included. The experience operates only on the free-entry Sundays shown in the official Vatican Museums calendar.
