Overview
No trip to Rome is complete without a visit to the Vatican Museums, where jaw-dropping masterpieces of art will leave you spellbound. With fast, skip-the-lines entry, our Wednesday morning Easy Access Vatican Tour is the perfect hassle-free way to see the highlights of the Vatican in the company of a knowledgeable expert guide. We keep our group sizes small to ensure you’ll get the best out of your time in the Vatican as you come face-to-face with Michelangelo’s iconic Sistine Chapel, the magnificent Raphael Rooms, amazing ancient sculptures and much more. Better still, as many visitors to the Vatican attend the Papal audience on Wednesday mornings, this is the quietest time of the week to visit the Museums. Join us for an entertaining, enlightening experience and see for yourself why this is one of our most popular tours!
