Skip-the-Line Access: While you can skip the ticket line, please allow extra time to go through security, especially during busy periods.
Unexpected Closures: Sometimes, St. Peter’s Basilica or the Sistine Chapel may close unexpectedly. In this case, we’ll extend your time in the Vatican Museums, but partial refunds aren’t available.
During periods of Sede Vacante, the Sistine Chapel will be closed to the public without prior notice due to the Papal Conclave (election of a new Pope). As this is a decision made by the Vatican, access to the Sistine Chapel is not guaranteed during these times. No refunds or discounts will be issued in the event of such closures.
Restricted Items: Items such as weapons, glass, sharp objects, food, and alcohol aren’t allowed inside for security reasons.
ID Requirements: Your booking name must match your government-issued ID, which is required for entry. Different tickets apply to adults and minors, so please book accurately.

I will NEVER again buy a tour through VIATOR. First our tour of the Vatican was changed to an hour later. Secondly, the tour guide lady seemed to be flustered. She had a rag on stick and that was what we had as a reference should we loose her. Then, we were told that tour will only focus on a few rooms in the museum due to time constraintand if we wanted to see St. Peter's Basilica before it closes. I was quite disappointed that my ti.e at the museum was alotted to just an hour!!!! This disaster tour took place on May 6. I pay $150.00 for 3 people.

Our guide was fantastic. He kept us organized and was extremely knowledgeable. Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica took about 3 hours. He allowed for questions and water/restroom breaks when needed. Truly a skip of all lines. Would do again.
