1.Skip the Line Vatican, Sistine Chapel, St Peter Small Group

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,847 reviews · 3 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $228Our pick

Skip-the-line Vatican tour that strings together Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter’s Basilica with a small group and expert guide.

“This was a great tour. Christina was a very happy and knowledgeable tour guide. She was thoughtful to give bathroom breaks and asked if we wanted longer at specific sites. I would ask for her again. The tour was definitely the best way to go as the regular line had a 4 1/2 hr wait to get in and we only waited 10 minutes max”

4.Sistine Chapel and Vatican Museums Small Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 664 reviews · from $80

Small-group Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel tour with early access, skip-the-line entry, and expert guide storytelling.

“My family has been on countless tours in many countries, but never before have we encountered such an educated guide who could truly answer any question (Bonus point: she have got her Ph.D in a specific field of archeology the day before)! The guide provided information for the everyday tourist, as well as facts you can't find in a guidebook. Although the Vatican is a hectic environment, our guide kept our group very well organized and expertly maneuvered us through crowds of tourists the entire time while keeping the historical facts flowing! She first led the tour outside the Museums, preparing our group for what we were going to see…”

Early-entry Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel with a small group, expert guide, and guided route before the crowds. From $183.90.

“St Peter's basilica is stunning. Sistene chapel ceiling is stunning, and more so now knowing the story it tells. We did the early tour, 7.30am. Guide was passionate about Vatican City. Brilliant and informative. Kept group together. Still pretty busy, but we had space in the chapel. And on leaving, saw the queue. It would have been crammed later.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 128 reviews · 2 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $228

Small-group Vatican evening tour with skip-the-line entry, Raphael Rooms, and Sistine Chapel, timed for calmer crowds and gentler light.

“So glad we booked this tour for the Vatican experience! Our guide, Luca, was so friendly and knowledgeable and made this a great way to see the museum and the Sistine Chapel. Directions were super easy to follow, no lines to wait in, and I couldn’t imagine doing this without a guide - he made it relatable and great for history buffs to novices. Group size of six was perfect as well. Highly recommend this experience!”

Small-group Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel tour with hotel pickup, wireless audio headsets, and a guide. Ends at St. Peter’s Square.

“Just passing the line sitting immobile in the searing hot sun made it all worth it, but add to that the tremendous guide and the knowledge shared and it’s worth it. The limited size of our group (10) was also a plus.”
