Editor's take

Your interests can shape this private Vatican visit. The 3-hour tour starts at 08:30 with a guide speaking English. You visit the Museums galleries and Sistine Chapel, with St Peter's Basilica on the route.

Your Museums entry tickets are already included. Having your own guide leaves room for questions along the way. A refundable tour is a better fit if your plans might change. This booking cannot be refunded.
