What to expect

Experience a once-in-a-lifetime journey to the heart of the Holy See with this exclusive guided tour that includes Pope Francis' Papal Audience and a guided visit to the Vatican Museums.

We begin at 7:15 am at Via della Conciliazione, where we will make our way to St. Peter's Square, the centerpiece of Vatican City. As we walk, your expert guide will share fascinating insights into the history, architecture, and stories of the popes. Arriving at St. Peter's Square before 9:00 am, you'll be in the perfect position to witness Pope Francis'traditional Wednesday Audience.

We will follow the Pope's preaching and guidance for approximately two and a half hours. After the audience, you'll have free time to explore Vatican City on your own and enjoy a typical lunch at your own pace.

At 2:30 pm, you will go to the second meeting point to begin the guided tour of the Vatican Museums. During this three-hour tour, you'll discover renowned treasures such as the Laocoön sculpture, Raphael’s frescoes like the School of Athens, and Michelangelo's masterpiece, The Final Judgement, in the Sistine Chapel.

The tour concludes back at St. Peter's Square, leaving you with unforgettable memories of your Vatican tour experience.

Our expert-led Vatican tours allow visitors to fully immerse themselves in the religious and artistic heritage of Rome’s top attractions.

Know before to go

  • The tour lasts 10 hours:In the morning we attend the general audience of the pope (which lasts about 4 hours), afterwards, there is a free lunch break of about 3 hours, and finally in the afternoon at 2.30 p.m. there is a tour of the Vatican museums (which lasts about 3 hours)
