With a maximum of six guests, this semi-private experience combines a relaxed pace, expert storytelling, and privileged access for a memorable visit to the heart of the Vatican.
Begin with priority access to Michelangelo’s Dome, where you’ll take an elevator part of the way before climbing to the interior gallery. From this unique vantage point, admire the Basilica’s magnificent mosaics up close and enjoy breathtaking views over the interior, including Bernini’s famous Baldacchino above the High Altar.
Back inside the Basilica, your expert guide will introduce you to its most celebrated masterpieces and hidden treasures. Admire Michelangelo’s Pietà, Bernini’s monumental bronze canopy, the bronze Statue of St. Peter, and other remarkable works that reflect centuries of artistic achievement and religious devotion.
Your tour concludes beneath the Basilica in the Papal Tombs, where many Popes are buried, including John Paul II. This sacred area is also traditionally believed to contain the tomb of St. Peter himself, making it one of the most significant sites in the Catholic world.

• ABOUT OUR 6 PEOPLE SMALL GROUP POLICY
In booking this tour you are guaranteed one tour guide per group of 6 people. Please bear in mind though that in order to accommodate traveling families and friends, we do on rare occasion make the exception of adding an additional one to two guests in order not to split groups who are traveling together. On that same note, you may find yourself on tour with less than six people. As we accept bookings in multiples of six, math doesn’t always work in our favor to help accommodate individual travelers and their families when on the same tour, so we hope you understand and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
