Description
St. Peter’s Basilica is more than just a church; it’s a living chronicle of history waiting to be explored. Your expert guide will uncover the intricate stories stored in its ancient walls.
Admire the gilded ceilings, Michelangelo’s Pietà, Bernini’s statues, and the breathtaking mosaics - this is a place where spirituality and beauty intersect.
But the exploration doesn’t stop there. Your guide will take you to the Vatican grottoes, where you’ll find the tomb of St. Peter and the final resting place of many popes. The grottoes are supported by the pillars from Constantine’s original basilica, which have stood resiliently for over 1700 years.
The tour ends by the fountain with drinkable water. You can also choose to ascend the dome for a stunning 360-degree view of Rome. Tickets to the dome, offering an unbeatable view of the city, are only available at the entrance and cannot be purchased online.
Don’t miss out on this history, art, and spirituality journey.
