Editorial Policy
Our editorial policy explains how we choose sources, compare tickets and correct mistakes. It also sets out how affiliate income relates to our recommendations.
Last updated · September 2026
Sistine Chapel Tickets is an independent guide, not the official Sistine Chapel website. We do not operate the attraction or tours, sell tickets, or hold or process bookings.
Where facts come from
We choose topics that help you compare visits and plan your time. Our source rules depend on the question:
- Official Vatican Museums and Vatican sources take priority for visiting hours, entry rules, closures and accessibility.
- Transport authorities take priority for routes, fares and service changes.
- Operator sources explain tour arrangements; GetYourGuide’s product data supplies listed prices, duration, inclusions, ratings and review counts.
A tour listing cannot override an official access restriction. If operator details conflict with a booking listing, we flag uncertainty rather than promise inclusion.
We leave unverified details out or tell you to check them before booking.
How we choose and order options
We select options for their relevance to the visit described and the clarity of their inclusions. Ordering reflects access areas, guided format, visit length, price and available traveller feedback.
Our selection is not a complete market comparison. A higher position does not mean an option suits everyone.
We may earn commission when you book through our GetYourGuide affiliate links. Commission does not decide the order. Affiliate income never buys a better placement or a better description.
What changing figures mean
Prices, ratings and review counts are starting points for comparison, not live guarantees. Prices vary by date and option; ratings and counts change as reviews arrive.
Check the current listing and final total before paying. Our summaries do not confirm availability or replace your booking details.
How we use reviews
We use recurring review themes as evidence, rather than quoting individual reviews as endorsements. Comments about guide clarity or meeting points can highlight questions to check.
Reviews describe personal experiences, not official rules. We do not treat them as proof of access, inclusions or future service quality.
Corrections and booking questions
When we find a possible error, we check it against the relevant source. We correct confirmed errors and remove or qualify claims we cannot support.
For booking changes or refunds, use the contact details in your booking confirmation. We cannot change reservations or control entry decisions.
This page is provided for transparency. It does not replace the booking provider’s own terms, which govern any purchase alongside applicable consumer law.
