This tour offers rare access, expert guidance, and the freedom to explore at your own pace. You’ll begin with a guided walk through the Vatican Gardens, an area normally closed to the public and far from the crowds.

With skip-the-line access, you’ll continue with your guide into the Vatican Museums to see highlights such as Ancient Roman sculptures, the Gallery of Maps, and the Tapestry Rooms, ending in the Sistine Chapel. After your guide’s explanation, you’re free to remain inside as long as you wish, a rare opportunity to truly take it all in.

Leaving the museums, you’ll use a reserved entrance directly into St. Peter’s Basilica, skipping the long lines. You’ll explore the Basilica on your own with a pre-registered guided visit, and may finish by descending to the Vatican Crypts to see the tombs of the Popes and St. Peter, a powerful and unforgettable conclusion to the day or request and extension of the visit to visit the Dome with prebooked skip line ticket.
