Private Tour: Jubilee year Holy Sites of Rome

5.0(29)Rome

About this activity

Pope Francis proclaimed the Jubilee Year of Mercy starting on December 8, 2015 and close to the 2025 Jubilee YEAR, we are ready for it. This private tour gives you the opportunity to learn more about the meaning of this event as you visit the major and most representative religious sites of Rome. Escorted by your English-speaking driver, visit the Basilica of St Paul Outside the Wall, the Basilica of St. Praxedis, and the Patriarchal Basilica of St. Mary Major, and gain a more in-depth experience than you would on most typical tours of the city's Christian sites. You'll discover hidden secrets and treasures of these landmarks and learn about their significance to the Jubilee Year of Mercy. Even though the Jubilee Year will be proclaimed over, the spirit of such a memorable year will continue, and you will feel its essence with us.
