Overview

Discover the highlights of the Vatican with skip-the-line admission to the Vatican Museums, and a guided tour of St Peter’s Basilica, with special access to St Peter’s Dome.

The tour begins at St. Peter's Basilica with your guide taking you to the masterpieces that are Michelangelo's Pieta and Bernini's Baldachin, learning the stories of their creation and their importance to the Vatican's language of communication. Enjoy special access to the St. Peter's Dome elevator, skipping the first 320 steps up to the terraces. Admire the dome mosaics, and if you wish, climb the last steps to the most stunning views of Rome from the cupola.

The Vatican Museums boast one of the best collections of art in the world, ranging from Roman, Etruscan, and Egyptian antiquities to the late Renaissance. From the exquisite classical statues like the famous Laocoon to the gorgeous Flemish tapestries, the experience guarantees a visual treat like no other. Skip the notoriously long lines with privileged access and end the visit with more time inside the Sistine Chapel or explore the Museums at your own pace.

Immerse yourself in the art, power, and politics of Vatican City with riveting commentary by our knowledgeable guide. From the Raphael Rooms to the statue galleries and the unmissable Sistine Chapel, explore the masterpieces and invaluable art, while hearing the stories and context behind the art.

Painted by the greatest Renaissance painters, Sistine Chapel’s famous frescoes are unrivaled masterpieces. Explore the renowned Chapel, the crown jewel of the Vatican, and perhaps even of all the world’s art treasures.
