Rome Vatican Stories of Religion and Power Walking Tour

Walk with us to learn how Rome and the Vatican became the heart of Catholicism and one of the most influential places in the world. This tour will take you through the fascinating history of Christianity, the rise of the papacy, and the secrets that have surrounded it for centuries. Join us as we walk the streets where saints, emperors, and popes made history! This is an outdoor walking tour focused on the monuments and architecture visible from the outside. The tour does not enter Castel Sant’Angelo, St. Peter’s Basilica, or the Vatican Museums. The tour finishes in St. Peter’s Square, where your guide will share essential insider advice, entry rules, dress codes, and tips for navigating lines so you can explore the basilica and climb the dome on your own afterwards.
