While we endeavour to tell tour groups ahead of time if there are any planned disruptions to the Basilica's opening hours, this is not always possible and in these cases we are unable to provide refunds or discounts.

On Wednesdays, due to the Papal Audiences, access to St Peter's Basilica is not possible until 1pm

Please note all participant names and date of birth are required at the time of booking in order to join this tour. If we do not receive this information, we will cancel the booking. Every customer is required to carry a valid ID that matches the name on the ticket, or an entry will be refused. Name changes are not permitted once the booking is confirmed.

Please be advised that this tour option is non-refundable, with no cancellations or date changes allowed due to pre-purchased tickets. It is mandatory to bring a valid ID or Passport for security checks, and entry will not be granted without proper documentation.

    Our guide was not organized.it seemed as though our reservation had difficulty and we were delayed 1 hour and that impeded our ability to finish the tour. We could not understand her English. We did not use our head set since we could not understand. She gave no time for questions since we were behind on time since she was not organized. At the end of the tour she did not wait for the entire group to proceed. Again, we were late.
