What To Expect

You can’t miss this tour if you like ancient churches and breathtaking views.

Start your journey at a meeting point and let our professional guide lead you to St. Peter’s Square, passing through Piazza Risorgimento. You’ll admire the giant columns before entering St. Peter’s Basilica, where you’ll have the chance to see Bernini’s Baldachin and Michelangelo’s Pietà on your way to the Papal Grottoes.

At the end of your tour you’ll make your way to the Dome. You’ll have to climb over 300 steps, but it will be totally worth it. When you reach the top, you’ll be mesmerized by a beautiful panoramic view of the whole city of Rome below you, feeling like you’re on top of the world.

Definitely a once in a lifetime experience!
