St. Peter’s Basilica Tour

A private 1.5/2 hour express visit to the Vatican and the world’s biggest church. Nothing in the world can compare to the scale and ornamentation of St. Peter’s Basilica. Visit the papal tombs and learn about the history of the sacred land, burial place of St. Peter and the long and diverse history of the popes. Inside the church, marvel at Michelangelo’s first masterpiece, the Pieta sculpture. And if you still have energy you can climb 550 steps to the top of his last masterpiece St. Peter’s dome. From St. Peter’s Square you will learn about the history of the Vatican and how it came to be the world’s smallest country, and see the outside of the Sistine Chapel and Papal residences. With skip-the-line tickets you will go inside the church and learn about all the masterpieces of mosaic art and sculpture.
