Today, you'll have an expert, English-speaking guide on hand to lead you through the huge crowds directly to St. Peter's Square. Every visitor will have an audio headset so you can hear your guide over the roar of the crowd. Once settled, your guide will provide an in-depth insight into the history and traditions of the Papacy and Papal Audience ceremony so you're fully prepared for the moment when Pope Francis takes the stage along with his Cardinals. Understanding the rich traditions of the Papacy and background of the event itself will make this an unforgettable experience.

Meet The Pope

We know exactly where to sit so that the Pope passes by you when he enters! Pope Francis will give a special greeting and with the help of his Cardinals, he will perform blessings in many languages, sing hymns and give homilies.

You will find yourself only feet away from Pope Francis because we have secured your pre-booked tickets and ensure that you arrive in time to find a good spot to see him as he passes you, greeting followers and priests from around the world.

Explore Ancient Rome

For the first time in history, access has been opened to the Underground level of the Colosseum. Hear the echoes of Ancient Roman civilization as you journey through tunnels where lions and tigers once roared from their cages and gladiators sharpened their swords. The Underground is essentially the "backstage" of the Colosseum, but this tour also includes an up-close look at the stage itself. Venture out onto a partial reconstruction of the Arena Floor to understand the magnitude of the Colosseum from where gladiators once stood. 

Then, climb to the second tier to envision yourself as one of the thousands of blood-thirsty fans ready to watch the games below.

Your journey through Ancient Rome will also take you to the Roman Forum, the marketplace that once bustled with life, and the Via Sacra, which was once walked by Caesar's army returning home from war. Here, you'll learn what day to day life was like for Romans and see the echos of the past in these beautifully preserved ruins. 

We'll step further back in time at the Palatine Hill to discover the birth of Rome.

Romulus is often said to be the founder of Rome, after fighting his brother to the death for glory. Explore the ruins of Rome's first palaces and entertainment grounds and take in the incredible views that surround you at every turn.

Experience The True Colosseum

Access is limited to only one company per slot, so this group will be alone in the Colosseum Underground, Second Tier, and Arena Floor* - promising an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

With so few other tourists around, you will have the time and space to explore freely, visualizing a rebuild of the Colosseum from the ground up with the guidance of your expert tour leader.

Here the ancient empire hosted festivals, political debates and triumphal processions as Roman armies returned victorious from conquest.

Continue to the Palatine Hill

Rising above the Roman Form is the Palatine Hill. The most famous of Rome's Seven Hills, it is said that Romulus and Remus were nursed and raised by a she-wolf here before going on to found the city (and empire) that follows one of the brother’s names.

Visit a Prestigious Local Vineyard

Next, we’ll take you to the serene sloping hills of the Castelli Romani in a private air-conditioned coach, where beautiful vineyards and olive groves in use for centuries dot the landscape all around you. The Frascati region’s most celebrated wine producer, the Pallavicini family, will welcome you to their over 200-acre vineyard estate and open their private wine cellars only for our group.

The Pallavicini Estate is one of the oldest and most picturesque vineyards in the Frascati region, producing wine since the 1600s. Their tradition of wine excellence continues to this day, honored with countless awards and accolades, including, most recently the Decanter World Wine Award, Sommelier Wine Award, Vinitaly Cangrande Award and the Calix Aureus award.

Discover a Wine-Making Tradition

Your guide will take you on a relaxing stroll through the grounds, past grape vines, olive trees and ancient ruins. You’ll learn about the phases of Pallavicini wine production and how the process has evolved and improved upon its roots in antiquity. Step inside true history, lined with Acacia and French Oak, these barrels were built into the ruins of a stunning third century Ancient Roman aqueduct and are where Pallavicini wines are stored to age until perfection.

Taste Award-Winning Wines

Then round out the perfect afternoon with a professional Pallavicini sommelier-led tasting in a spectacular 17th-century farmhouse. Sip on the same succulent wines that have earned countless awards and industry honors, including two red wines, ‘Casa Romana’ and ‘Soleggio’; a white wine, ‘Poggio Verde’; and the family’s celebrated dessert wine, ‘Stillato.’ Then enjoy a further tasting of the Pallavicini’s signature fresh-pressed olive oil with both plain and fresh tomato bruschetta.

Two of Rome's most sought-after monuments, the Colosseum and Roman Forum, by morning; one of the region’s most awarded vintners, the Pallavicini Estate, by afternoon - this tour offers the perfect combination of city and countryside and makes excellent use of your limited and precious vacation time. Don’t settle for one or the other when you can have both!

With first entry to the Sistine Chapel, you’ll have time to explore on your own before other tour groups and the general public arrive. Skip the Line Access gets you directly into St. Peter’s Basilica afterward, before descending to the incredible Vatican Crypt, not covered on regular Vatican tours.

Our early access Sistine Chapel tour starts outside the Vatican Museums before they have opened. You’ll enter 30 minutes ahead of any other tour group and a full hour and 30 minutes before the general public. With an expert guide leading the way, you’ll go directly to the Sistine Chapel (passing through the Museums). On the way your guide will give you some tips on what to look out for in Michelangelo’s world-famous frescoes; from his cheeky self-portrait in ‘The Last Judgement’ to ‘The Creation of Adam’ on the ceiling.

Being the first to enter the Sistine Chapel means that you can avoid the notorious crowds that fill the room during regular opening hours. Spend some time taking in the incredible artwork that surrounds you in the Sistine Chapel.

Once you’ve had your fill of the Sistine Chapel, we’ll take you through a special door – not available to the general public – through which you’ll gain direct access to St. Peter’s Basilica. Skip the Line Access here means you'll avoid another long queue outside the walls of the Vatican. On the way, your guide will give you an overview of St. Peter’s Basilica, letting you know what you should look out for during your visit.

Entering St. Peter’s Basilica, you’ll be blown away by its size and beauty. Visit Michelangelo’s sculpture ‘La Pietà’ and Bernini’s altar, a monumental structure of twisted wood and bronze, recycled from the Pantheon.

The last leg of our tour takes you below the Basilica to the Vatican Crypt. This is where the most important Popes in Church history have been buried – a huge honor bestowed upon past popes.

Once you've finished, your guide will lead you back outside to St. Peter’s Square where you can appreciate the mastery of Bernini, one of Rome’s greatest architects and artists.
