We are on the Rick Steves Seven Days in Rome tour this coming October. If we want to spend several hours in the Vatican Museums (even at the cost of not touring the Sistine Chapel, which we have already visited), should we order separate tickets than those associated with the tour visit? Pete

I'm not sure I understand but I'll try to answer your question. If you are on a tour that just includes the museums and chapel you can stay as long as you wish inside the museums. You don't need to exit after the tour is concluded. If your tour includes the basilica you won't be able to re-enter the museums without paying an additional entry fee. So it really depends on what the tour includes as to what you'll need to do. Donna
