Learn about the optical illusions designed by Bernini that make the square so captivating. Step inside the Basilica and be awestruck by its grandeur. Admire the stunning mosaics and understand why it took 150 years to complete its reconstruction.

Stroll past renowned Renaissance and Neoclassical masterpieces, guided by your expert guide. Pause before the magnificent 98.5-foot canopy and appreciate the intricate beauty of Michelangelo's Pietà.

End your tour with a visit to the underground grottoes, where you’ll see St. Peter’s tomb. Witness the ancient walls of the original 4th-century Basilica and marvel at the beautiful frescoes that adorn them.

PLEASE NOTE: In the event that the grottoes or certain areas of St. Peter’s Basilica are closed, your guide will adapt the itinerary by highlighting alternative sites and artworks within the basilica. As a result, the overall duration and quality of the tour will remain unchanged.
