Description

Get as close to heaven as humanly possible, with a guided tour of St. Peter's Basilica and Cupola.

Join your guide for a delicious breakfast at "Al San Michele" bar, the perfect starting point for your unforgettable adventure to Vatican City. Gaze in awe at the Dome of the Basilica, the highest architectural point in Rome, and take in the breathtaking views of the Eternal City. Explore the Vatican Gardens, the roof of the Sistine Chapel, and the chimney of the papal conclave, while your guide narrates the history of the mesmerising architecture.

Ride the elevator to the base of the cupola, and then take the stairs to the very top for stunning views of the city. Visit the main Basilica of Saint Peter's, where you’ll get to see where St. Peter was buried and uncover some of the secret, hidden spots at the heart of Catholic Rome. This is a tour to remember!
