Christine was such a fabulous guide who clearly loves her job and her wonderful city. She was funny, informative and treated all of us with great kindness! Thank you Christine for a great tour through the Vatican.

This is a very good tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and nice. She told us so many things that we would not have know if we tried doing the tour on our own.

We left a review on TripAdvisor. Our guide was excellent and we’ve already recommended the experience to friends who will be visiting over the summer.

Our guide was phenomenal! Can’t remember her name, but she was from Australia. We had 7 in our group and all think she was incredible.

Know Before You Book

Are there any times when St. Peter's Basilica will not be open to visitors?

The special access passage between the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica is closed on Wednesdays and subject to other unexpected closures during special celebrations/festivities, including the Easter ceremonies. On such days we will instead explore the magnificent Pinacoteca Gallery rather than the Basilica.

What is the dress code for the Vatican?

Access to the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel is permitted only to visitors dressed modestly (no sleeveless blouses, no miniskirts, no shorts, no hats allowed). All guests regardless of gender must cover their shoulders and knees.

Is this tour accessible to guests with mobility impairments?

Unfortunately due to the nature of this tour it is not suitable for guests with mobility impairments, or for wheelchairs or strollers. Please contact the Guest Experience team at [email protected] to make alternative arrangements.
