About Vatican & Sistine Chapel

The Vatican holds humanity's greatest artistic and spiritual treasures. These curated tours grant skip-the-line access to the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica — from early-morning Wednesday viewings to the awe of the dome climb. Every tour is led by an art historian who brings Raphael's rooms, Michelangelo's ceiling, and Bernini's colonnade into sharp focus.

Vatican & Sistine Chapel — frequently asked

Do Vatican tours include the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica?
Most full Vatican tours include the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel and access to St. Peter's Basilica. Express tours are shorter and focus on the Sistine Chapel only.
