Dit kun je verwachten

Experience the grandeur of St. Peter’s Basilica with this guided tour that brings to life the history, art, and spirituality of one of the most iconic sites in Rome. Begin your day with a relaxed stroll through St. Peter’s Square alongside your expert English-speaking guide, who will share the fascinating stories behind its design and symbolism—including Bernini’s famous optical illusion and the balcony from which the Pope delivers his public blessings.

With reserved access already secured, bypass the long lines and step straight into the awe-inspiring interior of the Basilica. Inside, discover the breathtaking Papal Altar beneath Bernini’s majestic bronze Baldachin, and admire Michelangelo’s La Pietà, a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture. Your guide will illuminate the artistic and spiritual significance of these treasures and more as you explore the heart of the Catholic world.

The experience continues with a visit to the Basilica’s ancient crypts, where generations of Popes lie in monumental tombs steeped in history. As your tour concludes, take time to admire the basilica’s stunning façade from the outside and reflect on the layers of art, devotion, and architecture that make this sacred space unforgettable.

    Een hele leuke afwisselende tour door de combinatie van het bezoek aan de cryptes, de binnenkant van de Basiliek en de beklimming van de koepel. Onze gids Elisa wist heel veel en sprak zeer goed Engels. Adembenemend zijn de mozaïek decoraties die van een afstand schilderijen lijken. Voor de beklimming van de koepel moet je goed ter been zijn en niet claustrofobisch want het zijn veel tredes en bovenaan is het heel krap. Je kunt niet halverwege keren. Het uitzicht maakt het zeer de moeite waard.
