Good to know

• There is a strict dress code at the Vatican. Shoulders and knees must be covered for both women and men • There is an obligatory security check at St. Peter's Basilica, this cannot be avoided. Our tour is timed to enter the Basilica before the crowds, but some time waiting to pass through security is inevitable. • On the days immediately surrounding religious holidays at the Vatican, alterations to tours may be necessary due to partial closings of areas usually included in this tour. In the event the Papal Tombs underneath Saint Peter's Basilica should be closed, the tour of the Basilica itself is extended • Due to the route covered and the means of transportation used, it is not possible to participate in this tour using a wheelchair, scooter, or other aid • Due to the special events and ceremonies associated with the Vatican's Jubilee Year 2025, access to St. Peter's Basilica might be restricted. These closures are decided by the Vatican and are outside our control

Great!

Chiara was a joy. Fun and informative. I wouldn't have enjoyed my visit to the museums half as much without her guidance, support and educational talks. I wish more people tipped her, she worked hard and was very patient too (even with a family who blatantly disregarded ger request to meet back at 10:45). She explained that if people took 10 seconds to look at every piece in the museums, it would take 5 years to see it all. 🤣 So, rather than being overwhelmed and missing most of the poignant pieces, it's definitely worth the tour. And, TIP your guide! Thanks, Chiara, stay awesome! -

Amazing!

Loved St. Peter’s Basilica and Dome tour. I would recommend a few extra stair stepping workout sessions before taking the Dome tour. Fabulous views inside and out. Definitely worth it. The early morning tour was a huge plus, missing the big lines. Small group tour definitely the way to go.
