Overview

St. Peter’s Basilica is an ancient book of wonders. Your tour guide will explain to you the history of the church and introduce you to the smallest country in the world Vatican City State.

Golden plated ceiling, optical illusions, Michelangelo’s Pietà, Bernini’s statues, and incredible mosaics, you will be lost in a world full of beauty.

After a thorough tour of the church, your guide will take you to the Vatican grottoes where you will see the tomb of St. Peter, the tombs of the popes, and the remaining columns from Constantine’s original basilica (1700 years old).

The tour will finish next to a graceful fountain with drinkable water. At that point, you will have the option to return inside the church and revisit what you saw, or to climb the dome and see a 360 degree panoramic view of Rome.
