Great

The behind scenes. Directions on exact location was confusing. Almost missed your and was at the Vatican one hour earlier.

Excellent

The guide was knowledgeable, funny and clearly knew what he was talking about. He was also very accomodating.

Great

The tour was great overall. The only thing I did not like and did not expect was standing outside in the cold listening to the tour guide for an hour before the tour actually started. That portion was boring and we got very cold

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.
