Before you book

Who is this Vatican tour best for?

Seeing the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica in roughly 3 hours allows you to cover a lot, but naturally leaves less time to linger in individual galleries and rooms.

This may not be the right option if your main goal is finding the cheapest ticket, exploring the museums entirely at your own pace or joining a tour in a language other than English.
