Overview

Most tours in Rome make travelers decide between sightseeing and relaxation. Enjoy the best of both worlds on this guided small-group tour of Santa Maria Maggiore. First, check out the basilica’s gilded interior and centuries-old mosaics, capped off by a visit to the on-site museum. Then, head to a nearby rooftop to indulge in a Happy Hour cocktail and panoramic views overlooking the basilica.
  • Learn about the Basilica’s history from your guide, and discover details you’d otherwise miss
  • A small-group (10 people max) means more relaxed pacing than larger group tours
  • Do as the Romans do and enjoy an included evening cocktail—known as an “aperitivo”
  • At just 90 minutes long, this tour slots easily into even packed travel schedules
