Tour description

Step inside the epicenter of Christianity and dive into an immersive journey where religion, history, and art collide in spectacular fashion. Welcome to Saint Peter’s Basilica — the largest museum in the world and home to some of humanity’s greatest masterpieces.


Marvel at Michelangelo’s Pietà, admire the towering Baldachin by Bernini, and uncover hidden gems that most visitors walk past without ever noticing. From ancient relics to jaw-dropping baroque ambition, every corner of this monumental basilica has a story to tell… and we know all the best ones.

With headsets included, you won’t miss a word as your guide brings centuries of power, faith, and genius to life beneath the world’s most iconic dome.

Join us and discover Saint Peter’s as you’ve never seen it before — unforgettable, overwhelming, and absolutely unmissable.

We cover the basilica entrance fee and the costs of the radios, so we kindly ask you to tip fairly.
