About the tour
You will untangle secrets that have surrounded the Roman Catholic Church for centuries — and learn things about the Vatican and Rome that no ordinary tour covers.
How the quest goes
This is not a tour where you just listen: you are part of the story. Every stop has riddles, puzzles and clues, and facts you work out for yourself stay with you for a long time.
No encyclopaedic knowledge needed — logic, a sharp eye and sometimes a sense of humour are enough. If you get stuck you can always ask for a hint: the guide stays in touch throughout.
You set the pace, with a break on the way for a snack, a coffee or a gelato. You can even race against the clock as a team.

- St Peter’s Square and Basilica — where the mysterious trail begins and ends
