Overview

Rome is one of the most fascinating cities on the planet, and on our Vatican Walking Tour you’ll discover why! We’ll take you on a journey where history and faith collide, and there’s no better time to experience it than in 2025. This is the Holy Year of the Jubilee, a Catholic tradition that only occurs once every 50 years and the perfect time to experience Rome’s most religious sites.

Your expert guide will tell you about the pilgrims who travelled to the Eternal City in search of a spiritual awakening and we’ll be walking a similar route to uncover the most important monuments in Catholicism.

You’ll enjoy lovely views of Saint Peter’s Basilica and after the tour you’ll be able to continue your exploration with a newfound appreciation for the Vatican and all of its sites. This is also the perfect place to conclude the tour because Saint Peter’s Square is home to the Holy Door, a passageway that is only open during the Jubilee offering renewal and transformation for those who pass.

What's Included

  • Tips for navigating Rome during the Jubilee
  • Entry into Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio di Loyola and the Basilica di Santa Maria Sopra Minerva
  • A guided walking tour of the Vatican’s most sought after sites
  • The tour views the Pantheon and St. Peter’s Basilica from outside, with no entry included
