Join this extended fast access tour of the Vatican in the company of a very knowledgeable English-speaking guide. On most of the Vatican tours there is only enough time to see the highlights of the numerous treasures housed in the nine miles of galleries. On this tour you see the “must see” artworks, but much more as we take you on a journey through the Vatican Art Gallery, the Sistine Chapel and Saint Peter’s Square.
Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. Public transportation options are available nearby. Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness. A dress code is required to enter places of worship and selected museums. No shorts or sleeveless tops allowed. Knees and shoulders MUST be covered for both men and women. You may risk refused entry if you fail to comply with these dress requirements. READ CAREFULLY: Because of the growing popularity of the current pope Francis and his intense activity in organising mass events in the Vatican some areas might get closed last minute without previous notice. This has already happened this year and can happen again during you Vatican tour. In case of such events our tour guide will provide you with a valuable alternative focusing the tour inside the Vatican museums.. Please note that due to Jubilee restrictions, access to the Basilica is not accessible
At the stairs outside the Vatican museums (street address is viale Vaticano ), under the big white monumental door topped with statues.
