The history of Catholicism that runs through Western history is perfectly organized in the heart of Catholicism, the Vatican!
We provide an easy-to-understand introduction to Western art history at the Vatican Museum, one of the world's three greatest museums.
This is the ultimate tour to make museums and art galleries, which can be difficult and boring during your European travels, more fun.
Even if you have no historical or religious background, we will make your European trip worthwhile.
▶ Vatican Tour (Reservation Required)
The ultimate, reservation-only Vatican guide that can accommodate your precious travel time while you wait!
We save you valuable time.
*For reliable advance ticket reservations, we are using agency ticket purchases (prices differ from regular tickets).
It's difficult to secure tickets for a specific time. We'll secure tickets for a specific time between 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM, and we'll provide you with information when you make your reservation.
Since you must enter as part of a group holding tickets of the same serial number, you cannot join the tour with tickets purchased separately.
Prepayment of ticket costs is required for advance reservations.
▶ Notice regarding St. Peter's Basilica
From March 1, 2025, direct entry from the Vatican Museums to St. Peter's Basilica will be subject to a toll (approximately 10 euros) and reservations will be required.
- Direct entry to St. Peter's Basilica may not be possible during Vatican tours after March 1, 2025 for the following reasons:
1. Burden of additional paid entrance fees that vary for each traveler
2. Difficulty in keeping to reservation time due to variables that may arise during museum tours
3. Uncertainty about availability of reservations due to limited number of people allowed to enter
▶ There is no difference in the tour content and process.
▶ As the Vatican tour has many variables, it is difficult to guarantee a reserved entry time to St. Peter's Basilica depending on the museum situation.
▶ After the tour ends, you can enter the Vatican Museum and St. Peter's Basilica again for free, so we recommend that travelers enter individually at a time that suits their schedule.
