Step back in time and discover some of Rome’s most sacred treasures with your expert guide. Your journey begins at the Basilica of San Pietro in Vincoli, home to the legendary chains believed to have bound St. Peter during his imprisonment. This ancient basilica also holds centuries of history and remarkable works of art.
Continue to the Basilica of San Clemente, a fascinating multi-layered site revealed by excavations in the late 19th century. Here, you can witness Rome’s unique ability to preserve and build upon its past, as each level tells a different chapter of the city’s story.
Your final stop is the majestic Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano—the cathedral of Rome and the mother of all churches worldwide. Just steps away, you’ll see the Holy Stairs, which tradition says Jesus climbed to the Praetorium of Pontius Pilate.
This tour offers an unforgettable opportunity to explore the deep spiritual and historical roots of the Eternal City.
