Explore the Vatican Museums, home to what is arguably the finest art collection globally. This 3.5-hour group tour, led by a highly-rated local guide, showcases highlights like the Laocoon and the Apollo Belvedere, along with some lesser-known gems. After the museum visit, admire Michelangelo’s renowned Sistine Chapel. The tour also provides an escorted entry to St. Peter’s Basilica, allowing you to explore at your leisure once the tour concludes.

Disclaimer: For bookings made less than 72 hours in advance, the tour will conclude in the Vatican Museums as skip-the-line tickets to St. Peter’s Basilica cannot be guaranteed.
