Overview

Seeing the world-famous Sistine Chapel at the Vatican Museums is one of the most popular things to do in Rome. Since it is a genuinely amazing work of art, it is understandable why there is frequently a long line to enter.

However, what if those lines could be avoided? This tour accomplishes just that. This tour differs from a typical museum tour primarily in that the entire group visits the Sistine Chapel immediately. For individuals with little time and little interest in the other museums, that is ideal.

Another difference is that individuals who have pre-purchased tickets will be able to enter through a secret door, avoiding the lengthy lineups at the Vatican proper. By just presenting the ticket to the security guard, you will be allowed to bypass the long lines outside the front door when you arrive at the museums.
