Policies
Due to this year's Holy Jubilee of Mercy and some related events, St. Peter's Basilica and Vatican Museums accessibility could be affected on a short notice. In case of late opening or early closure, for all our tours of the Vatican we plan to substitute the visit of the Basilica/Museums with the visit of the Vatican Library. In case the Basilica is totally closed, the visit/explanation will be conducted from outside.
