Spend your time taking in the sights rather than waiting to get inside on this guided tour with skip-the-line access. Witness masterpieces from Michelangelo and Bernini, and learn about the basilica’s role within the Vatican as you explore.

A chance to snap photos of the basilica’s golden columns
Learn facts about St. Peter’s Basilica that most guidebooks miss
Lots of opportunities to ask your guide questions as you explore
Easily explore the rest of the Vatican after your tour

Best way to see the St. Peter's Basilica

The tour met all our expectations. We are very satisfied with the experience. Our guide was very engaging and provided fragments of a local esoterica in a friendly and very informative manner, especially considering that it was her debut. We learned a lot about the cathedral and history. The cathedral is amazing, it was overwhelming experience. Our guide made our tour really enjoyable. We certainly highly recommend this tour.
