What should I bring?

Please wear comfortable shoes. Pack some water, sunscreen for the sunnier months, and a camera to record the special moments.

Is there a dress code to enter the religious sites on this tour?

We ask both men and women to cover knees and shoulders, otherwise the Vatican might refuse entry to religious sites and you’ll miss out on a portion of your tour. We understand the summers in Rome can be hot, so a great alternative is to bring a shawl/scarf/sweater with you. That way you can cover your knees and shoulders when necessary.

This tour does not include transportation from port. If you are coming from a cruise ship, please ensure to arrange your transportation to allow for traffic and train delays.

Does the Vatican ever experience unexpected closures?

During state visits or special religious events, parts of the Vatican may be closed unexpectedly and without much notice. If an area normally visited during a tour is suddenly closed, our guide will still provide explanations of the closed areas from outside. They will even show you another gallery to compensate for the lost time in the usual location.

In the case of airline ticket cancellations, additional airline ticketing fees may also apply. Please check our policies page for more detailed information.

We enjoyed the evening atmosphere of the Vatican, and skipping the daytime crowds was definitely a bonus. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, explaining details about the Vatican I never knew. The only downside was that the tour felt a little short, but it was still a great way to see this iconic place without too many people around.

This tour was the highlight of our trip to Rome! The Vatican at night is stunning, and it felt like a private experience. Our guide was incredible, full of knowledge and stories about the art and architecture. I loved how peaceful the Sistine Chapel was in the evening light. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for something different.
