Overview

Covering Rome's Catacombs, four major basilicas, Vatican Museums, and Sistine Chapel in a single day requires navigating sites spread across the city—and without a guide to connect the theological and artistic threads running between them, the depth of what you're looking at is difficult to fully appreciate. This private tour checks off each with helpful context from a guide throughout, so you enjoy a well-rounded experience.

Travel in comfort with a private chauffeur and hotel pickup
Check off Rome’s four major basilicas in just one day
Descend underground to explore the Catacombs

Flawless tour of one of the greatest cities to grace this earth

Craig_L, Jun 2024

What can I say? Words cannot describe how incredible this journey was. Our guides and driver glided us along what can possibly be the single best tour there is to take to gain the wonderful insight of what makes Rome, Rome. We were able to take in so many things and at the same time have the ability to take in every single detail thanks to the help of our guides. We were also able to have a genuine italian lunch experience with an amazing view. I cannot recommend this enough, best tour ever.

Wealth of knowledge and patience. Enjoyed every second with Giuseppe. He took time to explain the frescoes and mosaics. Love he has for Roman/Italian history is very contagious. Thank you for a wonderful day!!
