Overview
Experience the spiritual and architectural heart of the Vatican on this guided tour. Led by a professional guide, you will gain a complete perspective of St. Peter’s Basilica, from its soaring heights to its historic depths.
Begin your journey with an ascent to Michelangelo's world-famous Dome. After taking the elevator to the first-level balcony, you will enjoy a unique vantage point of the Basilica’s interior. For those seeking the ultimate vista, continue up the spiral staircase to the summit—the highest point in Rome—for breathtaking, 360-degree views of the Eternal City.
After descending from the Dome, explore the wonders of the Basilica’s main floor. Marvel at the beauty of Michelangelo’s Pietà and the immense Baroque masterpieces that adorn every altar and nave of this world-renowned site.
Your journey concludes with a descent into the Grottoes, which house the final resting places of dozens of Popes and lead you to the most sacred location of all: the Tomb of Saint Peter.

Vatican CitySt Peter’s Tomb | Vatican Grottoes in Vatican City | Private Tours in Rome Or crypt, the only part of the Basilica of Constantine still in existence. This is very interesting as it contains many important tombs of Kings, popes, and precious relics of the primitive Church, which narrate in monumental characters the history of twelve centuries of Christianity. Down there are visible also the tombs of the last Popes. The Bronze Canopy of St. Peter’s Basilica The bronze Canopy covers the tomb of the Apostle and the confession (I). It is the work of Bernini, executed by the artist for Pope Urban VIII, who inaugurated it in 1633. Confession St Peter’s Tomb | The present Confession, enlarged and decorated by Pope Paul V, after a design of Maderno, is surrounded by a balustrade of fine marble and by lamps, burning night and day, before the tomb of the Apostle. A double flight of steps leads down to the confession, which shines with the greatest variety of marble.
