Vatican/Sistine Chapel Prime Experience Early Entrance Tour

I'm interested in booking the Vatican/Sistine Chapel Prime Experience Early Entrance Tour. However, on the Vatican website they list two tours:

1) Prime Experience - Vatican Museums. This tour is listed at 63 Euros. Shows as including up to 25 visitors.

2) Prime Experience - Vip - Vatican Museums. This tour is listed at 45 Euros. Shows as including up to 10 visitors.

I'm confused as they seem to be the exact same tour, but the VIP tour includes fewer guests and is less expensive. Why would the VIP tour be less expensive with fewer guests?

Does anyone know the difference between the two tours?

Thanks!

I think you got some sort of website hiccup. I randomly chose the date of January 12th, and the VIP tour is €353. There's a pop-up message on the Vatican Museum website alluding to changes in entry fees for 2023. I guess they're working on the website now, and there are wrinkles.

What date are you considering?

Yes, it's a website hiccup. Once I actually went through the booking process the price did go up for the VIP tour.
