About this tour

Explore the Vatican after dark on a guided visit that pairs skip-the-line tickets with some of its most celebrated art. This 170-minute Vatican night tour begins at the Museums entrance on Viale Vaticano, where you’ll meet your guide before heading inside.

Walk among ancient Greek and Roman statues, then take in Raphael’s Rooms and the Galleries of Tapestries and Maps. The route also includes the Sistine Chapel, where you can look up at its renowned painted ceiling. Pre-booked tickets help you avoid the ticket line, leaving more time to focus on the collections and their stories. A cloakroom and comfort break are available before the tour begins.

The Basilica is not included, though you can visit afterward by joining the queue at St. Peter’s Square. Vatican access can change at short notice, and the Sistine Chapel or Basilica may be closed; if a planned area is unavailable, your guide will offer an alternative within the Museums. Dress with covered knees and shoulders for entry. Join this Vatican night tour for a guided look at the art and spaces that make the Museums unforgettable.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • 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. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
