Important Information

Check your email the day before the tour for important information. Pre-booked tickets to the St. Stephen Basilica allow you to skip the line at the ticket office. You cannot skip-the-line at the entrance and security checks. Admission is for the Basilica Church Hall (inner area) of the Church. Additional tickets to the Treasury and the Terrace of the Dome can be purchased on the spot. Please note that due to Sunday masses and other special events, visiting Basilica can be limited. It is a walking tour, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes and dressing appropriately for the weather. We're not afraid of the sun and rain, so the tour will take place as planned, regardless of weather. For the best experience, we limit your group size to 1-25 guests per guide, so that everyone can get personal attention, ask questions and hear commentary clearly. We will arrange additional guides for larger groups, so the price will be higher.
