Description

Join a guided tour of St. Peter’s Basilica, an ancient book of wonders in Rome. Learn about the history of the church and get introduced to Vatican City, the smallest country in the world. Explore the golden plated ceiling, optical illusions, Michelangelo’s Pietà, Bernini’s statues, and incredible mosaics, immersing yourself in a world full of magic, spirituality, and beauty. After a thorough tour of the church, head down to the Vatican Grottoes. See the tomb of St. Peter, the final resting place of 90 popes, and the remaining columns from Constantine’s original basilica. Finish the tour to a graceful fountain with drinkable water. Finally, enjoy the option to return inside the church and revisit what you saw, or climb the dome and soak in a panoramic view of Rome.
