The ones with a confirmed price run from EUR 62 to EUR 89 per person, and the cheapest is Skip-the-Line Vatican Museums Ticket. Tours in the same category can still be very different days, so it helps to compare a few things before you decide.

What to compare

Look at the size of the group, because it changes how much time you get and how much attention you receive. Look at the total length and at what is included, such as food, drinks, tickets or transport. Check the meeting point and the cancellation rules on the booking page. A cheaper Skip-the-Line Explained tour is not worse and a dearer one is not better: the right choice is the one that matches what you want from the day.
