Are tour itineraries subject to change and how does that affect us?
In the case of the Vatican, while the museums follow a strict schedule, St Peter’s Basilica may sometimes be closed to tour groups If a mass is taking place. We do our best to keep up to date with any celebrations and while most are listed on the Papal Calendar the Vatican may sometimes schedule celebrations in the Basilica without prior warning, This is their right do to do so and we respect the fact that St Peter’s is a Church not just a tourist site.
