Church tours in Rome

Most church tours in Rome are built around the Vatican: the Vatican Museums with the Sistine Chapel, often combined with St Peter's Basilica and its dome, as early-entry, small-group or skip-the-line visits. Beyond the Vatican, the tours cover the underground levels of San Clemente, the upper areas and museum of Santa Maria Maggiore, the Lateran with the Holy Stairs, and the bone chapels of the Capuchin Crypt.

The list below puts all of them side by side. Vatican tickets sell out weeks ahead in spring and autumn, and Wednesday mornings and Sundays change access to St Peter's, so check the date before choosing a tour.
