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.

Laura our host was very informative. She got us the best seats and the Pope came past us twice. Definitely recommend booking this as it took away the stress and chaos of getting there on your own

Amazing!!!!!

Met the guide at 7am and she was really friendly. Took us to the queue and made sure no one was getting passed as there were lots of people chancing it. We were told it would be inside as it was really hot even at that time of the morning!! Got through all the security and she took us to our seats which were really close to the front and that where we were was right next to the aisle that the pope goes up at the end. Worth every penny, amazing experience.
