About this tour

Start your journey with an expert-led tour of St. Peter's Basilica, the heart of the Catholic Church. Your guide will share insights into its history, construction, and evolution from early Christianity to its Renaissance and Baroque redesign. Visit the Grottoes, the peaceful resting place of numerous popes, including St. Peter, with stories about their lives and influences. For a magnificent view, opt for the dome climb. Ascend 551 steps, or take an elevator to reduce it to 320, passing through narrow passageways and appreciating the architecture up close. At the top, enjoy a panoramic view of the eternal city, Vatican Gardens, the River Tiber, and Rome's cityscape
