Program
Explore St. Peter's Basilica
with an expert guide
Meet your guide at the office at Via del Mascherino 88 near St. Peter's Basilica to start the tour. Over about 1.5 to 2.5 hours, you'll walk through the basilica and hear your guide explain the history and meaning of this place, shaped by centuries of faith and art.
Admire Michelangelo's Pietà and Bernini's Baldachin
Near the entrance, you'll see the Pietà, which Michelangelo sculpted at the age of 24. This Renaissance masterpiece captures the sorrow of the Virgin Mary holding the body of Christ. You'll also admire Bernini's huge bronze canopy, the Baldachin, rising above the papal altar, and the Chair of St. Peter (Cathedra Petri) in the apse.
Look up at the dome designed by Michelangelo
Designed by Michelangelo and completed after his death, the dome is one of the defining features of Rome's skyline. Your guide will explain its architecture and symbolism. If you chose an option with the dome climb, you can go up the dome after the tour.
Visit the Tomb of St. Peter in the Vatican Grottoes
The tour ends in the Vatican Grottoes beneath the basilica. Many popes are buried here, and at its center lies the tomb of the Apostle St. Peter, considered the first bishop of Rome.
