Overview

Explore Rome following the trail of Robert Langdon in Dan Brown's best-selling novel, Angels and Demons! The tour begins at to the Church of Santa Maria della Vittoria. It was here that Langdon found the third dead cardinal, who was branded with the word fire. You will also see the Pantheon, where Robert Langdon arrives having misunderstood a clue. His intended destination was the church of Santa Maria del Popolo. You will stop outside St. Peter's Basilica and see the point in the square where the protagonist found another dead cardinal, branded with the word air. Your guide will take you through the most important places in the ancient city center, including Repubblica Square, and Navona Square, whereLangdon finds the last dead cardinal here, branded with the word water. From Navona Square you’ll head to Castel Sant’Angelo, a gathering place of the Illuminati, and hear about the passetto, a hidden passage that leads to Vatican City.

The guide will wait for you just in front of the church.

Itinerary

  • Santa Maria della Vittoria

    The church is known for the masterpiece of Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the Cornaro Chapel, the Ecstasy of Saint Teresa. The basilica has become extremely popular since it appeared in the novel Angels & Demons, written by the American author Dan Brown.

    1 hour

  • Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo (Pass By)

    Construction of the building began in the year 135 under the direction of the Emperor Hadrian, who intended to use it as mausoleum for himself and his family.The building was later used by the popes as a fortress and castle, and is now a museum. You will see Castel Sant'Angelo from the outside and your tour guide will tell you all about its history.

  • Pantheon (Pass By)

    The Pantheon is without any doubt one of the best preserved ancient monuments in Rome. It is a wonderful example of the reutilization from a Christian perspective of a sacred building consecrated to all Gods. It stands in the heart of the ancient Campus Martius, in one of the lowest parts of Rome, and its imposing facade dominates the southern side of Piazza della Rotonda. In 1870 the Pantheon became the shrine of the kings of Italy and hosts the mortal remains of Victor Emanuel the Second, Humbert the First and Margaret of Savoy and also Raffaello Sanzio, the supreme artist of the Renaissance, is buried in the Pantheon. You will see Pantheon from the outside and your tour guide will tell you all about its history.

  • Chiesa di Santa Maria del Popolo

    The Parish Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo is a titular church and a minor basilica in Rome run by the Augustinian order. The church contains works by several famous artists, such as Raphael, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Caravaggio, Alessandro Algardi, Pinturicchio, Andrea Bregno, Guillaume de Marcillat and Donato Bramante.

    1 hour

  • St. Peter's Basilica (Pass By)

    The Papal Basilica of St. Peter in the Vatican (Italian: Basilica Papale di San Pietro in Vaticano), or simply St. Peter's Basilica (Latin: Basilica Sancti Petri), is an Italian Renaissance church in Vatican City, the papal enclave within the city of Rome. Designed principally by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, St. Peter's is the most renowned work of Renaissance architecture and the largest church in the world. While it is neither the mother church of the Catholic Church nor the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome, St. Peter's is regarded as one of the holiest Catholic shrines. It has been described as "holding a unique position in the Christian world"and as "the greatest of all churches of Christendom". You will see the Basilica from the outside and your tour guide will tell you all about its history.

Highly recommend this tour even if you’re not a fan of the book or movie.

Published on Oct, 2024

This was such a great walking tour. We loved all the references to the novel and movie, but simply getting to spend the morning with a local in such a small group was awesome. We asked a million and one questions, and Felice was very knowledgeable and courteous. It was like hanging out with a friend. He even took us to his favorite espresso bar.

Fun and informative great tour

Great tour and guide

Published on Sep, 2024

Very interesting. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I would highly recommend and even do it again based on her knowledge and pass for Roman history.

Excellent tour guide (Luisa)

Published on Jul, 2024

Luisa was an excellent tour guide. She let us know that one of the churches wouldn’t be available for the tour but would lead us to another one that had interesting information to share. Luisa was also very considerate of the two little kids in the group.

Our guide was...

Published on May, 2024

Our guide was outstanding. He let us decide the pace and length-we were really tired because we flew in from the US and then did the tour. Our guide helped us get a taxi to go to our hotel. Everything was smooth. We loved him!
