The visit, explained
Is this the right tour for you?
Why choose it
Choose it when limited time makes a focused chapel-and-gallery visit more useful than a full Vatican circuit.
What to weigh up
The express option does not repeat the smaller ten-person limit advertised for other options; the product-wide field says twelve. Confirm the actual cap before booking.
