Description
Situated in Vatican City, St. Peters Basilica stands as a remarkable symbol of both long-standing religious importance and exceptional architectural ingenuity. Initially ordered by Pope Julius II during the 16th century, this grandiose basilica was constructed on the presumed location of Saint Peters burial, the esteemed disciple of Jesus Christ, encapsulating centuries of history and spiritual reverence.
First, climb the dome, and get a close look at the interior mosaics while your audio guide tells you about the churchs history. Be amazed by the panoramic views of St. Peters Square and the Vatican Gardens.
Next, take in the Colosseum from afar, and gaze over the Pantheon, Castel SantAngelo, and other ancient buildings that make Rome unique.
After descending from the dome, admire Michelangelos Pietà, Berninis Baldacchino, and the final resting places of St. Peter and other popes. Using a digital map and 27 designated listening points, the audio tour will lead you on a journey through the basilicas key highlights. Explore the detailed embellishments and elaborate mosaic art that grace the interior walls. Delve into La Pieta of Michelangelo and the meanings and historical significance of the extraordinary pavement beneath you.

Superó las expectativas
Nada que reprochar, todo salió como estaba planteado. Aprendimos más de la ciudad en unas horas que leyendo tres guías. La coordinación fue puntual y todo estuvo organizado. La explicación en Cúpula de San Pedro nos dejó pensando. Lo que no me gustó tanto fue la parada final, medio apurada. Cinco estrellas bien merecidas.

Reservamos de última hora e foi um acerto. Avisaram de uma mudança de horário com bastante antecedência. Incluir 10% de desconto na loja Mondo Cattolico tira um problema das suas costas.

Impecable
Realmente valió cada peso. Basílica de San Pedro tiene un clima muy especial.

Se pasó volando y nos quedamos con ganas de más. Los músicos en vivo le dan otro nivel a la noche. El paso por Basílica de San Pedro London nos gustó mucho. Sin dudas una de las mejores experiencias del viaje.

De lo mejor que hicimos en el viaje. Solo por Roma vale la pena el paseo.

Nice outing
Very good overall. It costs more than going alone, but it saves you all the planning. Cúpula de São Pedro Edinburgh has a very special atmosphere. Slick logistics, clearly done every day. The music was a bit loud for conversation. I do recommend it, with the caveats above.
Highlights
- Climb the stairs to the top of St. Peters Dome, 136 metres above the city
