Our guide Carlotta, was a treasure trove of information. She shared her passion for her profession with an immense reserve of info that she doled out to us in clear language we all understood. Thank you! Hard to pick a favorite, but the Pieta moved me in a way I hadnt felt in years. I also loved the story of the 4 foundations of the church and the relics they had within. Thank you again for an amazing tour.

It was wonderful to be shown St Peter's Basilica by someone who was obviously so knowledgeable. The site was beautiful and a must do when in Rome. There was a brief hiccup when meeting up guide, but it was easily solved by calling the administration.

I loved the pace of the tour. Angela chose the important places and items. She had many stories to tell and made the experience very dynamic. She matched well the lighter tone of her guiding with the respect for the place.

An unparalleled experience in Rome! Combine expertly guided tours to these complementary monuments and learn of their intertwined history at a discount.

What to expect

Castel Sant’Angelo

Castel Sant’Angelo has had a long and tumultuous history, meant to be a royal resting place before being converted to a castle-fort for the papacy, and eventually settling for its fate as a museum. Venture through its military exhibits, admire its moats and guarded passageways, and hear the chilling tales of those kept in its dungeons. Get lost in indoor open spaces like the Courtyard of the Angel, and halls like the marble-lined Grand Loggia or the extravagant Paolina Rooms. Be sure to ask your guide lots of questions!

Mausoleum of Hadrian – Originally built as the emperor’s tomb.

Secret passages – Discover hidden escape routes.

Panoramic terrace – Stunning views of Rome and the Vatican.

Papal apartments – Lavish rooms once used by popes.

St. Peter's Basilica

Within the Vatican City enclave, St. Peter’s Basilica towers up over the other buildings. Smack under its 448 ft-high dome of Michelangelo lies the resplendent Main Altar, covered by Bernini’s famous bronze canopy or Baldachin. In the grooves of this massive basilica are numerous niche chapels filled with artworks, sculptures, tabernacles, and more by Renaissance greats. Then, venture a level below ground to the Vatican Grottoes and unravel the Papal Tombs. Be in the presence of St. Peter’s supposed sepulcher at Clementine Chapel or pay homage to St. John Paul II's sarcophagi.

Michelangelo’s Pietà – A masterpiece depicting Mary holding Jesus.
