Overview

What exactly can you expect from this tour?
Immerse yourself in the Rome of the Popes, where stories, wonders, legends and reality blur and harmonize with today's Rome.

You will be guided by one of our local, certified tour guides. What makes our guides special is their passion for Rome and they want to share it with you.

Highlights of the tour:

On this tour, you will experience "Santa Maria Maggiore", which contains one of the four Holy Doors.

Then we will reveal the hidden basilica "Santa Prasede" and its secrets.

Followed by "San Pietro in Vincoli" where you will see the statue of Moses by Michelangelo and the miraculous chains of St. Peter.

Then we will visit two of the oldest churches in the city:
"Santi Quattro Coronati" with the legend of Pope Sylvester
"San Clemente", dedicated to the fourth Pope "Clemens I"

The tour culminates in a visit to the arch-basilica of "San Giovanni in Laterano", which contains another of the four Holy Doors.
