Looking for tickets to Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel on my Rome dates (7-9 Oct.) and they're sold out.
So, I tried to look for tickets a day before on Sunday, 6 Oct and it shows an invalid query error.
Are the museums not open on Sunday? Also, are there guided tours by Vatican Museums itself, they show as 'Non Bookable' for now.
What would be the best way to see the museums? Preferably on a budget.

The guided tours offered by the Vatican Museums still seem to be bookable only 60 days in advance. Until recently, the 60 day rule also applied to the general admission tickets…however these tickets are currently on sale until the end of the year.
