Overview

The itinerary is particularly suggested to travellers keen on history.
Why is St. Peter's Basilica located in the Vatican? When was it built? Why does the Vatican have this name? What is the "Passetto"?

This tour, focusing on the Vatican area, its surroundings, and its relationship with Rome, will allow you to answer these and many other questions, guiding you on an itinerary full of charm and history.

At the end, on their own behalf, the participants can choose to visit the interior of St. Peter's Basilica or head for the Vatican Museums, located nearby.

So do not hesitate to discover the Vatican, the beating heart of the Church of Rome, its history, and its treasures together!
