Skip-the-Line Bible Tour of the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel
The Only Official Semi-Private Tour for Jehovah’s Witnesses Inside the Vatican Museums
⚠️ Important Notice:
Due to the 2025 Jubilee, skip-the-line access from the Vatican Museums to St. Peter’s Basilica is not available throughout all of 2025.
🔁 Alternative Highlight: Instead of visiting the Basilica, this year’s itinerary includes the magnificent Raphael Rooms and the historic Borgia Apartment.
♿ Accessibility Notice
Unfortunately, this tour is not suitable for individuals with mobility challenges (e.g., requiring walking sticks, walkers, wheelchairs)
There are approximately 85 steps to climb inside the museum — no lifts available.
If you have mobility difficulties, you will need to book a private tour, which follows shorter and dedicated routes specifically designed to accommodate your needs for approx. 200-250 per person
Unfortunately, as I work alone, I am not available to offer private tours.
