Good to know

Unfortunately due to the nature of this tour it is not suitable for guests with mobility impairments or with wheelchairs, or strollers. The special access passage between the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica is closed on Wednesdays and is subject to other closures during special celebrations. On such days we will instead explore the Pinacoteca Gallery. All participants must provide full names, dates of birth, and passport/nationality details at the time of booking. The information must match the ID or passport. Name changes are not allowed, and failure to provide this will result in booking cancellation. Due to the religious nature, all individuals regardless of gender must cover their shoulders and knees. Starting December 2024, access to St. Peter's Basilica may be limited due to the Vatican's Jubilee Year 2025, which includes special events and ceremonies. These closures are determined by the Vatican
