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

    The basilica was canceled on us because the pope was doing a pilgrims mass. The museums were interested but our tour guide was a litttle long winded on many things losing our attention. Sistine chapel was amazing.

  • Great Expereince!

    I had a wonderful time with this tour. Our tour guide Alessandra helped us make it inside the Vatican as swift as possible considering how hectic the entrance can be. In this tour you’ll be able to take a shortcut to get you to the Sistine chapel and another for Saint Peter’s Basilica. It’s a nice detail considering how many people visit the Vatican everyday. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and patient with everyone. Highly recommend.
