The budget door into the Vatican: skip the line entry to the Museums, the Sistine Chapel and the Basilica with a storytelling guide, from €20 per person and with 15,132 reviews behind it. Check the option, two of them drop either the Basilica or the Museums. The Pope can close the Basilica at short notice.
A holiday in Rome without visiting the Vatican is like a day at the beach without swimming in the sea.

While the tour provides skip-the-line access, the crowds in the museum vary from day to day and some delay with security can be expected (it would be misleading for other tour operators to not tell you this!)
