Rome Papal Audience and Vatican Museums guided tours

Rome Papal Audience and Vatican Museums: enjoy a unique experience in the Holy See with this combination that includes the audience of Pope Francis and a guided tour of the Vatican Museums.

After meeting in Via della Conciliazione at 7:20 am, we will head to St. Peter's Square, the center of the Vatican. As we walk to the Vatican City, the guide will tell us curiosities about the history, architecture and popes. Guided by the explanations, we will arrive at our seat in St. Peter's Square a little before 9:00 am, to follow Pope Francis's traditional Wednesday homily.

We will closely follow the preaching and advice of the Pope for approximately two and a half hours. After the mass at around 11:30 am, we will meet again with the guide, who will assist us in everything we need to know about the Vatican.

After having free time to continue the visit around the Vatican, we will meet the guide again at 1:30 pm.

We will then start a guided tour of the Vatican Museums. On our tour, which lasts about three and a half hours, we will admire authentic gems from the History of Art such as the Laocoon sculpture or the frescoes of the School of Athens and a masterpiece of Raphael.

The visit to the Vatican Museums also includes an access to the Sistine Chapel. At the end of the tour of the Vatican Museums, we will return to St. Peter's Square.
