  • Saint Peter’s Basilica is subject to last-minute closures for religious ceremonies, when this occurs the local partner can offer customers an extended tour of the Vatican Museums; the local partner endeavors to tell tour groups ahead of time if there are any planned disruptions to the Basilica's opening hours, but this is not always possible and in these cases refunds or discounts are unavailable
  • On Wednesdays, due to the Papal Audiences, access to St Peter's Basilica is not possible until 1:00 PM

Riccardo, our awesome Tattooed guide was simply amazing!! He was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of insight and explanation during the 3 and a bit longer tour. This is no doubt not an easy tour as there’s just so much to take in, but he made it a breeze with his patience and experience . Simply superb !! He also provided us valuable travel tips beyond Rome too. Thanks heaps!!

Michele/Micky was hands down the best tour guide I have ever had. He is extremely personable, knowledgeable and was very engaged from start to finish. His passion was evident throughout the tour, we were so thankful for the time spent with him. If you can please request for him as a guide (when you arrive at the meeting point you are placed into groups and we lucked out for sure). Thank you Michele/Micky!

2 PM option was a good call. It wasn't as busy and we were able to stop in spots to hear from the guide. It was helpful to have the tour audio devices so we could still hear the guide over the crowds. Lots of walking and some stairs. It would be harder for people with mobility trouble or small children/strollers. Overall a good option, especially with the timed entry.
