Important to know
Accessibility:
- Not suitable for wheelchairs, strollers and those with reduced mobility
Know in advance:
- Please note: 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 and are beyond our control. Thank you for your understanding
- Please note that particular galleries of the Vatican museums may be closed without prior notice and pieces may be removed for restoration. In such case, your guide will take you to another section of the museum
- The special passage between the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica is closed on Wednesdays and is subject to other unexpected closures during special celebrations. On such days you'll explore the Pinacoteca Gallery instead
- Sometimes guides may not be allowed to give tours inside St. Peter's Basilica, in which case they will share a brief explanation from outside, and you'll be free to visit the Basilica by yourself
- Men and women must cover knees and shoulders to enter religious sites. The local operator cannot be held responsible for those denied entry
- Groups are limited to a maximum of 20 people
Remember to bring:
- A valid ID for all participants (including children)
