Overview

This tour offers a truly immersive journey through St. Peter’s Basilica, led by a knowledgeable and engaging guide who brings the art, architecture, and history of this sacred space to life. Rather than a quick walk-through, you'll gain a deep understanding of the Basilica’s spiritual significance, hidden details, and the stories behind its most iconic works — including Michelangelo’s Pietà and Bernini’s Baldachin.

What sets this tour apart is the personal touch and depth of storytelling that allows you to experience St. Peter’s not just as a visitor, but as a witness to centuries of faith, power, and artistic brilliance. Perfect for travelers who value insight, context, and meaningful connection over crowds and photo ops.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
