About this tour

Discover the Vatican’s artistic treasures on a guided visit that makes the most of your time in Rome. With pre-booked tickets, you can skip the long lines and begin exploring alongside a local guide.

St. Peter’s Basilica is not included, and access to the basilica is unavailable due to Jubilee restrictions. Vatican areas can close at short notice for papal events; if that happens, your guide may provide an alternative focused inside the museums.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 2 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.2. Top 40% in Rome means it ranks in the top 40% of tours in Rome by this score.
