I'm sure this question has been asked but I've searched, googled, and read the RS book so I'm sure I just missed it. I already booked a tour through the Vatican for the Vatican museum, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's but did not see an option for Scavi tour. How do I book a Scavi tour?
I have done the Scavi tour and there is a whole separate website for reserving it Sorry I don't have the URL but I'm sure if you Google Scavi Tour vatican the website will come up immediately.
http://saintpetersbasilica.org/Necropolis/ScaviTour.htm Beth, here's the link w/ instructions. It's often called the Necropolis Tour (and I think I recall that is how it is referenced in Ricks' book).
Here's a link with more details and an e-mail link to the office to which you have to apply: http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/institutions_connected/uffscavi/documents/rc_ic_uffscavi_doc_gen-information_20040112_en.html
Thank you all!
