Please be aware that modest dress code is required for all religious sites. Visitors must cover their shoulders and knees to gain entry. Sleeveless tops, short skirts or dresses, and similar attire are not allowed.

Occasionally, entry to the Sistine Chapel may be delayed or restricted due to religious ceremonies. In these cases, your guide will adjust the itinerary to spend more time exploring the museum galleries until access is restored.

For liturgical reasons, St. Peter’s Basilica might be temporarily closed to visitors. If this occurs, your guide will focus on other sections of the Vatican Museums to ensure a full and enriching experience.

Photography inside the Sistine Chapel is strictly prohibited.

The Sistine Chapel is a sacred space where silence is required. Your guide will provide all commentary before entering so you can fully absorb its significance in quiet.

Large backpacks are not permitted inside the Vatican Museums and must be left behind or checked elsewhere.

This semi-private tour may present challenges for guests requiring wheelchair access, due to steps and certain areas without full accessibility. For a completely accessible experience with suitable routes, we recommend booking a private tour instead.

If you believe you qualify for free admission to the Vatican due to a disability, please notify our team ahead of time.

All visitors, including children, must present a valid government-issued photo ID to enter the Vatican Museums.

Our semi-private tours are designed to be small groups, typically limited to six guests per guide, allowing for a more personal and engaging experience. Occasionally, small adjustments may be made to accommodate families or groups traveling together, which could slightly increase the group size. Sometimes, groups may be smaller than six for a cozier experience. We appreciate your flexibility, which helps keep every tour enjoyable and memorable.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
