Overview

Discover what makes Rome one of the most fascinating cities in the world on our Vatican Walking Tour. This isn’t your average walking tour, it’s a journey of history and faith and there’s no better time to experience it than now. Experience the Vatican in all of its glory in 2025, the Holy Year of the Jubilee and one of the most important traditions in the Catholic Church.

As we explore the most sought-after sights in Rome we’ll be walking a similar route as the pilgrims who came to the Eternal City in search of a spiritual awakening.

The tour will conclude near Saint Peter’s Square, home to the Holy Door, a gateway that is only opened during the Jubilee and a symbol of renewal and transformation for passersby. The Vatican Walking Tour offers something for everyone; whether you’re a curious traveller or a pilgrim in search of something holy, this tour is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Rome during the jubilee.

What's Included

  • Insight into the history of the Jubilee and tips for navigating the city during the holy year
  • Entry into Chiesa di Sant’Ignazio di Loyola and Basilica di Santa Maria Sopra Minerva
  • A walking tour of the Vatican’s most sought after sites from a local guide
