Adventure Tips
Wear comfortable walking shoes
Despite vehicle transport, expect some walking within and around basilicas; sturdy shoes help navigate cobblestone streets and church interiors.

Cover shoulders and knees to respect religious dress codes inside all basilicas; bring a scarf or shawl for warmer months.

Tours take place all day so pack water and sun protection, especially in summer months when Roman sun can be intense.
Arrive early at meeting point
Check in 15 minutes before departure at St. Peter's Square to ensure smooth start; late arrivals cannot be accommodated.
