CAN WE BRING BACKPACKS ON TOUR?
Vatican authorities are very strict with the use of backpacks. Sometimes some distracted visitors hit the artworks with them. Thus, they require you to check them in at the entrance locker rooms of the museums. This is not convenient because you have to walk all the way back after the tour ends to collect them. We suggest not to bring them. Bring a small purse or simple bag. Also do not carry umbrellas on tour.

ksg139 from Cumberland, Rhode Island with our tour Guide Tommaso
"So many tour choices how do you pick one? I was delighted to have successfully chosen such a wonderful company with a small group experience. We loved Tomas' contagious enthusiasm and passion for the history of Rome and were fortunate to have him guide us through both the Vatican and Colosseum. Wonderful communication throughout the process. My husband and I would highly recommend.", ksg139
