The tour starts in Castel Sant'Angelo, once a monumental mausoleum of Emperor Hadrian, later transformed into a fortress and prison of the Papal States. Many well-known characters were locked up in the cells of this famous monument that stands out on the right bank of the Tiber river. The visit does not include the entrance to the Castle. We will later move along Via della Conciliazione to Piazza San Pietro where you can admire the wonderful Colonnade of Gian Lorenzo Bernini before entering the most famous Basilica in the world. I will tell you about the long and complex history of this place so significant in the Christian history of the city of Rome and I will illustrate the treasures and relics preserved in this magnificent Basilica. To access the Basilica appropriate clothing is required so I recommend no shorts and covered shoulders. Minimum 4 people
Meeting point: Open in Google Maps
How to find me: On the right side of Castel Sant'Angelo main entrance, the one facing the bridge

Maria was absolutely amazing. The tour she prepared was super interesting and informative, and we learned so much about Catholicism, the popes and Italy without being overwhelmed. Maria is incredibly engaging and passionate about the stories she tells, which are full of detail and interesting facts. She also knew the answer to every question we had; like a walking library. Do not miss this tour!
Visita molto piacevole, informazioni e spiegazioni chiare, complete e esaustive; guida molto professionale e esperta.
MariaGrazia was a guide with full of detailed information. Would love to do other tours wth her again.
This is definitely the best option for those willing to acquire or refresh their knowledge of Rome history, Vatican, popes, St.Peter's, Italian arts and architecture - because she knows all of this! Bravo, Maria Grazia!
