Additional Notes

  • St. Peter's Basilica is subject to closures due to Vatican affairs. In the event that this happens, you will be contacted as soon as possible to reschedule. In the rare case that the tombs are closed, the tour will spend extra time in St. Peter's Basilica and Square.
  • Please note that skip-the-line access is not possible at the dome or at St. Peters Basilica's security line (except for guests entering via the Vatican Museums who use a different door) so you may need to spend some time queuing.
