St. Peter's Basilica
Our tour begins at the Vatican with the Basilica of St Peter built over the place where St Peter's body still lies.
Once you have entered into St Peters, our expert Catholic guide will give you a tour of the interior of the Basilica including Michelangelo's Pietà, the relics and altars of the major saints of the Catholic Church and the history involved and of course the body of St Peter buried underneath the High Altar here.

Basilica Papale San Paolo Fuori le Mura
The Basilica of St Paul outside the Walls is where the remains of the great Apostle of the Gentiles, St Paul, are to this day. Pilgrims will see the chains that bound St Paul during his incarceration and house arrest here in Rome before also viewing his newly excavated Sarcophagus before being given a tour of the rest of this ancient Theodosian Basilica.

Arcibasilica di San Giovanni in Laterano
Arch-Basilica of St John Lateran (San Giovanni) - the Cathedral of Rome.
