Overview

Experience the magnificent St Peter’s Basilica by joining an express guided tour in English or French. With a multilingual audio guide included, listen in your own language as you uncover Rome's greatest church.

Start your journey near the heart of Vatican City at Borgo Santo Spirito 17 (Al San Michele), where you’ll meet your friendly guide who will escort you to the Basilica.

Take in 2000 years of history with delicate mosaics, elaborate architecture, papal tombs and intricate sculptures before ascending up to see Michelangelo’s Cupola – the crowning dome. Keep an eye out for the chance to take a scenic snap from the very top of the eternal city.

Finish off your tour inside the Basilica, where you can chat with your guide or continue exploring the iconic site with an audio tour.
