IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR CLIENTS BOOKING FROM 30th APRIL TO 09th MAY 2025 Due to the extraordinary situation surrounding the passing of Pope Francis, and the event of the conclave to decide the next Pope. The tour will still be operating as planned but the Sistine chapel will likely be closed as the Cardinals will be meeting to elect the next Pope. The tour will still be a skip the line visit of both the Vatican museums and St. Peter's Basilica as originally planned. In these exceptional circumstances please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience. We hope that you will still have a fantastic visit and this will truly be a unique experience and a historic moment to visit. We hope on the day of your visit to see the white smoke and for you to be able to join the celebrations for the newly elected pope! If you wish to continue with your tour, you will not need to do anything and we hope to make this a very special and memorable experience for you.
