Climb St. Peter’s Dome, see Rome from 136 metres, and explore the basilica with multilingual audio guides for $17.

“It was easy to find the place to meet up. The “guides” were very helpful with navigating the security check and ticket for the Dome elevator. The audio tour was fine, I wouldn’t have paid for it. However, the ability to get tickets the day before and to get through the line quickly was worth the cost.”

Skip the Line: Vatican & Sistine Chapel Ticket with Audio Guide

5.Skip the Line: Vatican & Sistine Chapel Ticket with Audio Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 3,271 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $46

A practical review of Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel skip-the-line tickets, including entry, audio guide quality, timing, value, and useful tips.

“We prefer a free-and-easy visit rather than being guided through the vast Vatican on an intense historical tour. However, the pre-start briefing could be improved by including a simple instruction sheet to guide guests through the steps and direct them clearly to the entrance. At present, visitors need to do a bit of figuring out on their own to understand the starting sequence.”

“The basilica itself was beautiful. This is just skip the line ticket with audio guide. we had to meet the guide to get the tickets ( make sure you read all instructions). they send you a voucher, these are not the tickets. After we got the tickets from the guide we all had to wait to enter. Someone in the party was late. I wish we could have just went in on our own but we had to wait for the whole group to use the tour guide (shorter) line. The regular line does move pretty quick but it is long.”
