  • Unearth the enigmatic secrets of St. Peter's Basilica with top-notch guides, including Michelangelo's Pietà and Bernini's Baldachin.
  • "Plunge into the Vatican Grottoes' profundity for an unforgettable encounter with the Papal Tombs in St. Peter's Basilica."
  • Opt for an exhilarating climb up St. Peter's Basilica Dome, boasting one of Rome's most stunning panoramas.

EVENT INFO St. Peter’s Basilica isn't just a church, it's an ancient book of wonders waiting to be read. The expert guide will unfold the rich tapestry of history woven into its very walls, illuminating the Vatican City State - the smallest, yet most powerful, country in the world. From golden-plated ceilings to Michelangelo’s Pietà, Bernini’s statues, and jaw-dropping mosaics, the basilica's treasures transport visitors to a realm where magic, spirituality, and beauty coalesce.

The journey doesn't end there, as the guide will lead the way to the Vatican grottoes, home to the tomb of St. Peter, resting places of the popes, and the enduring pillars from Constantine’s original basilica, standing strong after 1700 years.

The tour winds down beside a charming fountain offering drinkable water, where the adventure seekers can opt to revisit the church's grandeur or ascend the dome for a 360-degree panoramic view of Rome. Just remember, the tickets to heaven (the dome, in this case) are sold right at the entrance and can't be booked online. Don't miss this unforgettable journey into history, art, and spirituality.

This meeting point is our office and you will find our company's sign at the entrance.

  • Cancellation is possible until 24 hours before your visit.
  • Rescheduling is possible until 24 hours before your visit.
