“This was indeed fabulous. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Excellent tour and I would recommend this to anyone. I rate this tour a 5.”

“It was fantastic, could not have worked out better. Perhaps you could tell your clients that no matter what the hawkers will tell you, you do not need any other ticket in order to have a complete tour of the Vatican and Sistine chapel. Superb and very reasonably priced.”
DS, Ireland.

Guided tour of the Vatican - 2 hours

Rapid confirmation - orders usually processed in under 10 minutes.

Official Vatican tour including the Sistine Chapel. Available Monday to Saturday at various times of day, lasts two hours.

This is an official, Vatican-organised tour that in approximately two hours covers the Pio Clementino Museum, the Gallery of the Candelabras, the Gallery of the Geographical Maps, the Gallery of the Tapestries (Renaissance art), the Raphael Rooms and, finally, the Sistine Chapel.

Once the guided tour is over you are free to remain inside the Vatican complex and continue your individual explorations, should you so desire. The essential difference between this, the two hour tour, and some of our longer tours is that a guided visit to St Peters is not included, although you are able to enter St Peters by yourself, without the guide. Please note that this itinerary is not suitable for those using a wheelchair.

    The process is so easy, despite it being the last day of the year (31 Dec) and closing the museum early and massive visitors, we got in quickly and got a very knowledgeable guide! I would recommend booking the tickets with tickitaly! :)
