Itinerary

  • Arcibasilica di San Giovanni in Laterano

    The official headquarters of the Pope. The famous church is topped with impressive statues along the outer face and full of beauty inside. The main walls are covered in beautiful frescos from the Renaissance age and the main nave, restored four centuries ago, will leave you in awe! It is one of the oldest churches of Rome, but the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano is something more: a real artistic jewel.

    45 minutes

  • Basilica Papale San Paolo Fuori le Mura

    The Basilica of Saint Paul outside the Walls testifies the history of the Holy Church in Rome. The main altar, surmounted by a stunning Gothic canopy, treasures the mortal remains of St Paul, who was buried here. The giant basilica was built as early as the V century AD and features original Roman columns, a great mosaic from the Middle Age, but also the portraits of all the Popes in history, including the last ones: Pope Francis and Pope Benedict XVI.

    45 minutes

  • Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore

    One of only 4 Major Basilicas of Rome and the largest dedicated to Saint Mary was built between 422-432 under the instruction of Pope Celestine the first. The mesmerizing mosaics covering the triumphal arch and nave gave a model for future representations of the Virgin Mary.

    45 minutes

  • Santuario della Scala Santa

    The Scala Sancta are a set of 28 white marble steps that are Roman Catholic relics located in an edifice on extraterritorial property of the Holy See in Rome, Italy proximate to the Archbasilica of Saint John in Laterano. Officially, the edifice is titled the Pontifical Sanctuary of the Holy Stairs (Pontificio Santuario della Scala Santa), and incorporates part of the old Papal Lateran Palace.

Basilica tour

These basilicas have religious and historical significance. They will be highlighted in the Jubilee Year of 2025. Marta is an excellent guide who even laughed at my attempted humor.

1st class tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the 3 Basilica's we visited. She shared many details about the history, art, and architecture of each Church. This tour included pick up and drop off at our hotel which was super convenient.

Amazing experience!

This was an amazing tour with Francesca! She was so knowledgeable and kind. You could really tell she loved the rich history of her city. I would recommend this tour to others to see the beauty of these basilicas in Rome and to understand their importance.

Great tour

The basilicas were absolutely beautiful, and our guide John Luca was very knowledgeable and friendly.
