The Express Access to the Sistine Chapel in Rome, designed for a small group of 6 participants, offers a perfect 2-hour tour that allows visitors to explore the Sistine Chapel and Raphael rooms in the early morning. With the guidance of an expert local guide, participants gain direct entry into the Sistine Chapel without waiting in lines, enabling them to fully appreciate Michelangelo’s masterpiece before the arrival of larger tourist groups. The guide will then escort the group to the Raphael rooms for a personal encounter with these fresco masterpieces. The small group size, limited to a maximum of 6 people, fosters a friendly atmosphere where participants can engage with the knowledgeable guide and enjoy the tranquility of an almost-empty museum. The guide will subsequently lead the group back to the Museums’ galleries, providing information on how to make the most of their remaining time in the magnificent Vatican Museums.
- A minimum of 2 people per booking is required
- A dress code is required in places of worship. No shorts or sleeveless tops allowed. Knees and shoulders must be covered by both men and women. You may risk refused entry if you fail to comply with these dress codes
- Please be aware that the Sistine Chapel is a Holy Place and talking inside is strictly forbidden. In the Express Access to the Sistine Chapel Tour the first 30 minutes of the tour are held outside of the Museums in order to give you a comprehensive explanation before entering the chapel.
- Starting in 2024, the Vatican Museums will discontinue early access for ALL tour providers, instead opening to the public at 8AM. This tour will then be offered as a first entrance experience, which we recommend for a less crowded, more personalized, and fully guided experience.
- Vatican management maintains the right to delay the opening of the Sistine Chapel for religious reasons, in this case the guide will modify the itinerary and extend your visit of the museums to ensure you make the most of your time before access to the Sistine Chapel is permitted.
