Rome PSA:

Plan Ahead for the 2025 Catholic Jubilee

Our guide in Rome has provided essential information about the upcoming Catholic Jubilee in 2025. This event, celebrated every 25 years, will draw millions of pilgrims and tourists to the city. We strongly recommend booking early to secure your trip to Rome.

During the Jubilee, pilgrims travel to Rome to pass through the Holy Doors of the four major basilicas—St. Peter’s Basilica, St. John Lateran, St. Paul Outside the Walls, and Santa Maria Maggiore. This act symbolizes a step into a new era of grace and forgiveness.

With Rome expecting an extraordinary number of visitors, it's crucial to plan ahead. We can already book hotels and tours for the first 4-5 months of 2025. Don’t miss out on this unique spiritual and cultural celebration. Book now and prepare for an unforgettable experience.

Tipping Across Europe: Essential Advice

Navigating tipping customs in Europe can be tricky, but we're here to help! Each country has its own norms.

Our recommendations are:

Transfer including luggage: 10-15 GBP/Euro

Transfer excluding luggage: 5-10 GBP/Euro

Guide for Tour up to 4 hours: 10-15 GBP/Euro

Guide for Tour more than 4 hours: 15-20 GBP/Euro

For driving tours with both a driver and a guide, double the amount and split it between them. While restaurant staff in Europe are paid normal wages, tipping around 10% is becoming more common if service is good.

By understanding these practices, you can show appreciation without confusion. Happy travels and enjoy your dining experiences across Europe!
