Skip the Line: Wheelchair Accessible Private Vatican Tour Including Sistine Chapel

The tour begins when you meet your guide at a designated point in Vatican City. Plug in a supplied, personal headset to ensure you hear your guide clearly throughout the tour, then bypass the queues with your skip-the-line ticket and head directly inside the Vatican complex.

Your first stop is in the Vatican’s painting gallery, the Pinacoteca, home to some of the Western world's most influential pieces of art. Created for Pope Pius XI, the gallery showcases treasures, including Caravaggio’s Deposition from the Cross, Da Vinci’s unfinished St Jermone and Raphael’s Transfiguration, that your guide brings to life with fascinating stories.

Continue to the Chiaramonti Museum, founded by Pope Pius VII in the early 19th century, to learn more about some 1,000 sculptures and statues of emperors, Roman gods, and cherubs that stand proud under the arched ceilings of the gallery.

Your Vatican tour culminates when you arrive at the the Sistine Chapel to see Michelangelo awe-inspiring fresco ceiling. It's also where cardinals gather to elect a new pope. Since talking inside the chapel isn't permitted, listen to your guide share the history and theories behind Michelangelo’s famous masterpieces before you head into the sacred site on your own.

Gaze upward to see the Creation of Adam fresco that shows God bringing Adam to life with the touch of his finger. Then, get close to The Last Judgement painted on the chapel’s back wall.
