  • 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.

In case of such events our tour guide will provide you with a valuable alternative focusing the tour inside the Vatican museums.
