About this experience
Discover the spiritual, artistic, and architectural wonders of St. Peter's Basilica on a guided private or group tour. Built over the original church commissioned by Emperor Constantine, the present Basilica is a masterpiece of Renaissance and Baroque architecture, shaped by legends including Michelangelo, Bernini, Bramante, and Maderno. Walk through the magnificent nave, admire richly decorated chapels, and learn the stories behind iconic treasures such as Michelangelo's Pietà, Bernini's Baldachin, the Papal Altar, and the Altar of the Confession. Visit the Vatican Grottoes, where many Popes are buried near the tomb of Saint Peter. For an even more memorable experience, upgrade with optional access to Michelangelo's Dome. Enjoy elevator access to the terrace, then climb the remaining steps to the summit for breathtaking panoramic views over Vatican City.
