Tour or official ticket?

From €130 against €25 for official entry, this tour adds German guiding. Admission may still cost extra because the inclusion list conflicts with the cash-payment instructions. The official ticket is cheaper if you prefer to explore at your own pace.

Meeting point

The meeting point is right across the street from the entrance to the Vatican Museums. You can recognize the guide by the "German Roman woman" sign.

From the operator

From the operator: Deutsche Römerin's own description of the tour.

The Vatican Museums and the Sistine Chapel are certainly among the top attractions in Rome. Must see places. To make sightseeing an unforgettable (beautiful) moment, we recommend a guided tour. It has been calculated that if you spent just a minute in front of each work of art, it would take you 14 years to see the Vatican Museums collection... We want to show you the best of these treasures in our three hours. Your German Roman city guide will tell you extraordinary stories about the unique architecture and the mysterious politics of the Vatican.
