Climb St. Peter’s Dome, see Basilica masterpieces, then go underground to the grottoes and St. Peter’s Tomb with a guided walking tour.

“I did this tour for my birthday, and it was honestly one of the best parts of my entire trip. St. Peter’s Basilica is something everyone should see, and having a guide made a huge difference. Without Francesca, it would have been super confusing (huge preEaster crowds!). She made everything clear, fascinating, and hilarious. Seriously, she’s so funny she could be a stand-up comedian! Totally wish I could be friends with her -- I learned a ton. Plus --the views from the dome climb were absolutely outstanding. It felt like going to Pope Disneyworld, in the best way. Highly recommend!Read more”

Skip Vatican lines to the Museums, Sistine Chapel, and St. Peter's, with a guide, headsets, and Michelangelo highlights.

“Our Guide was very knowledgeable- she talked non-stop for the entire 3hr tour! The tour is worth it for skipping the lines alone (which were extremely long!). If you want to explore the museum at your own pace and see all the rooms then a different tour would be better but this was great for the highlights and interesting facts like the eagle statue that inspired the American Great Seal. The explanation of the Sistine Chapel was so detailed too.”

She made sure that we all got to walk through the Holy Doors into St Peter’s Basilica during this Jubilee year, which made this tour so very special for us. Thank You!!!”
