Visit the Vatican Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's Basilica on this guided tour of up to 20 guests. With a reserved entrance, you can head straight inside and explore without wasting any time.
Your guide will first take you to the Vatican Gardens balcony for a stunning view of St. Peter's dome, then through the Pinecone Courtyard with its mix of ancient and modern art. Since no talking is allowed in the Chapel, your guide will prepare you in advance for key details.
You'll then walk through the Hall of Maps, Gallery of Tapestries, and Gallery of Candelabra, before quietly taking in Michelangelo's frescoes and hidden self-portrait in the Chapel.
After exploring the chapel's Renaissance history, you'll enter St. Peter's Basilica. See Michelangelo's Pietà, then enjoy quiet time beneath the world's tallest dome. Stay inside as long as you like, or head to St. Peter's Square to admire Bernini's optical illusion and the basilica's grande façade.
