Vatican City, one of the holiest sites in Christianity, is a monument to a spiritual endeavour as well as a history spanning over two millennia. The Vatican is inextricably linked to the history of Christianity as the location of the burial of the Apostle Saint Peter, the first in an uninterrupted line of Roman Pontiffs, and a major hub for pilgrimages. It is also a prime example of Baroque and Renaissance art, as well as an ideal work of art. It began to have a lasting impact on the advancement of the arts in the sixteenth century.
The Lateran Treaty on February 11, 1929, which established the independent State, grants it territorial power over 44 hectares in the heart of Rome.

So disappointed with this tour. On the day the guide sent us different meeting instructions than originally and we went to the new location as instructed. They advised they had no record of our booking and it was in fact a provider down the street and around the corner (the original address on the booking). So off we went and lo and behold, the provider was not open. We tried calling and he repeated again to go to the new address so off we went back to the new address we had already been to. Without any explanation the same lady who originally told us she didn’t have our booking said she did have it after all and the provider had given it to her now. We can only assume that this provider has on sold our tour to another company which resulted in the confusion and change of address and company.
This tour was false advertising as the Basilica wasn’t even OPEN at the time of our tour so there was no way it could be visited. People save their entire lives and travel around the world for these opportunities and this provider has taken advantage of that. We were so disappointed we couldn’t see what we came for AND PAID FOR.
Although the guide we had was clearly knowledgeable, we simply couldn’t understand the majority of what she said due to her thick accent.
This provider should really at the very least need to partially refund for false advertising. I do not recommend this company and wouldn’t use again.
