Skip-the-Line Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel Escorted Entrance Tickets
Overview
Once you book, we organize everything. Just show up at the Maya Tours office (VIA GERMANICO, 16) at the correct time and we’ll escort you inside the Museums, where we will provide you with your ticket.
If you have limited time and are simply looking to avoid lines and explore the sites on your own, this Fast-Track Entrance ticket to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel is the perfect option for you.
The Vatican Museums public entrance is infamous for its incredibly long lines. People often queue up for hours in a slow-moving procession to the museum doors. In fact, it is not unheard of to wait up to four hours to get inside during peak season, which can be extremely frustrating especially if you have limited time. Thankfully, we have a solution! Our fast track tickets allow you to bypass the general admissions line and enter much quicker. This priority access ticket increases your time inside the Vatican by eliminating all the needless waiting around outside.
No Basilica Acess

Our tour guide Debra was fantastic. She was so enthusiastic about art and culture and Roman history. She had a knack for drawing in the tour group members to make us feel we are part of a special group. She gave very clear descriptions of historical events, particularly relating to Michelangelo as an artist, sculptor, architect. She navigated the museum with Authority and efficiency. She prepared us well for what we would be seeing in the Sistine Chapel. Very personable. Looked after group in a caring manner and made sure that we all could see and hear her. Highly recommended!SachinPWagh

We had the escorted tickets to Vatican and tue Chapel but they were at 12:30 in the noon and so by the time it would have ended we would have missed out train to Amalfi so we requested them to put us on an earlier tour and they did! We were on the 10am tour and our tour guide was this brilliant American lady named Christina! She was just amazing. She sat us down for 15 mins and took us through all the paintings in the chapel before hand and explained to us what to look for and where! That background made my tour the best experience I could have at the museum and the chapel. If you are English speaking and seeking a truly gifted guide then I recommend Christina from Maya tours!jimedelfino

The tour was really good, and Cristina, the tour guide, was amazing! I traveled with my teen kids and she was able to capture their attention (and mine) thanks to her storytelling
