This less-stress guided tour will grant you a real skip-the-line, faster access to the Vatican Museums through the exclusive official partners' entrance, saving you the hassle of waiting in line for several hours.

After meeting your professional guide at the meeting point, you’ll be given a headset and reach the Vatican Museum’s entrance, in a group of no more than 20 people. You’ll tour the gallery, visiting all those main spots you’ve heard about like the Gallery of Maps, the Gallery of Tapestries, and the Borgia Apartments.

The guide will tell you everything about the Raphael Rooms and their exceptional frescoes, including The School of Athens, and will bring you to the Sistine Chapel, whose ceiling is one of the cornerstones of High Renaissance art.

At the end of the tour, you’ll admire St. Peter’s Basilica (from the outside) and Square, the open space that lies before the basilica.
