The Vatican Gardens (Giardini Vaticani) cover an impressive 57 acres (23 hectares)—more than half the entire area of the Vatican City-state—and include a Renaissance layout dotted with fountains, statues, and buildings dating as far back as the sixth century. The gardens were a humble expanse of orchards and vineyards until Pope Nicholas III moved his residence back to the Vatican from the Lateran Palace and enclosed the land with a wall in 1279.

Lisa_D, July 2023
A MUST when in Roma!
The whole tour was VIP treatment and breathtakingly beautiful. The gardens were something very special that not many get a chance to witness. Very private and intimate.

A Favorite Experience
This was such a unique tour and a favorite of my 11 year old! Fabio was so knowledgeable. He made the tour flow quickly but with enough time to really enjoy each spot on the tour.
Dehlia_G, June 2023
This tour was the whole package!
Agnes did a wonderful job... great information, getting us where we needed to be, finding us afterwards, taking us through St Peter's Basilica! She was kind, considerate of our needs, spoke clearly and what a wonderful smile! Thank you, Agnes!
Wendy_Z, May 2023
Vatican gardens a highlight- see them if you can.
We absolutely loved the bus tour of the Vatican gardens, I hadn’t realised that’s what I’d booked but it was the best. Gave a sense of the Vatican and it’s relationship to Rome. The gardens are divine. Everything else went as expected for such a busy museum/ space. Enjoyable.
