Want to know what makes Rome one of the most spectacular cities on Earth? Join our Vatican Walking Tour for an unforgettable journey where history, faith, and beauty come together. 2025 is the Holy Year of Jubilee, one of the most significant traditions in the Catholic Church and the perfect time to discover the Vatican in its glory.

We’ll finish near Saint Peter’s Square, home to the Holy Door.

Our tour with Domenic’s was an excellent tour. We did an evening tour which was a nice change from the hot afternoon tours in Aug. I’ve been to Rome many times and learned some new and interesting facts on this tour. Glad I chose this tour out of all the others I could have booked..
