Vatican Museums audio guide tours

Unlike fixed-route guided tours, an audio guide lets you navigate the Vatican Museums your way. Spend more time at the artworks that captivate you and skip those that don’t interest you.

Get fascinating stories and facts about the Vatican's masterpieces, from the Sistine Chapel to Raphael's Rooms, without the rush of a live group tour.

Audio tours are available in multiple languages, including English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, and Portuguese. Choose your preferred option for a more comfortable experience.

All audio guide packages come with reserved entry to the Vatican Museums, allowing you to bypass queues and head straight in for a seamless start to your visit.
