Why book this tour? You visit the Vatican once in a lifetime! Skip-the-line access means you’ll have more time to explore millennia of art and history within these hallowed walls without waiting in the long general admission lines.

Get straight inside with skip-the-line access to see a host of treasures of the Vatican City, all with enlightening storytelling from a passionate guide.

This tour has been specifically designed to get you inside as quickly as possible with skip-the-line entry.

Yes, we loved the tour. It was the right amount of time for us and the “skip the line” was perfect! Highly, highly recommend that. Also, Tony was outstanding! Very knowledgeable, personable and he kept us moving along but at a great pace. We appreciate his detailed points of interest and historical background discussions. Thank you!

tremendous visit despite the crowds, our guide was beyond knowledgeable, is history, art and architecture could not have asked for more
Splendor at the Vatican
ChristopherBOS
First, keep your expectations somewhat in check. The Vatican is amazing. It is also a bit of a zoo. There's a lot to see, and limited time for the guide to present the Vatican, et al. to you, while ensuring that you have a memorable experience, and no one gets lost. You will be distracted by noises, other visitors, wonderful art/architecture and the general grandness of it all. If you are lucky, you will absorb 50% of what the guide communicates to you. Then you will likely forget half of that. Mostly, you are letting the venue wash over you. With that said, a great guide can make all the difference. "Enrica" was charming, witty, affectionately spunky, and expertly traversed that space between maintaining order and intrigue. She was knowledgeable outright; however, because she is a native Roman, she was able to offer personal life experiences/anecdotes of the venue - and Rome, generally - that made the experience even more interesting than it would have been already. I left the tour wishing I had a guide like her at the Colosseum. I recommend this tour - at baseline a guide will make the venue less intimidating and more interesting. If you are fortunate to get Enrica - or a guide of similar quality - all the better.
