Enjoy a guided tour of St. Peter's Basilica (and no lines!)

Located outside of the Vatican Museums, St. Peter’s Basilica has its own entrance and its own rules, with limited hours for guided tours. Our Complete Vatican Tour ensures that you get inside the Basilica (not to mention skip the lines!) with your expert guide to enjoy Michelangelo’s Pietà, Bernini’s baldachin, and the chair of St. Peter, among other treasures.

A truly complete Vatican experience

We’ve spent years growing a team of passionate experts who want to share the Vatican with you. Combine them with a small group and you have a recipe for sight-seeing perfection! We also use privileged entrances at the Vatican Museums and St. Peter’s Basilica, bypassing general access lines that can stretch for hours at each site during high season.

The Complete Vatican Tour offers an uncompromising, unhurried exploration of the world’s most fascinating independent state, for those that want a truly complete Vatican experience.

The Vatican Tour was a great way to see and learn about the main sights of the Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica, setting the stage for a return visit on our own at some point in the future. Maddy was very knowledgeable and engaging as we made our way through our day. The tempo of the tour was good, despite one of the group who needed a scooter to get around due to an issue with her foot. As a result, there were quite a few delays while we waited for her and her family to keep up. We strongly recommend this tour as well.
