Vatican: Unlock the Vatican on an Exclusive Key Master's Tour of the Sistine Chapel

Skip the crowds on this once-in-a-lifetime tour that allows you to enter the Vatican Museums before dawn with the Key Master. Watch him perform his morning rituals as your small group wanders through silent galleries of masterpieces and frescoes with your official Vatican tour guide.
