Description

Experience Rome through a captivating blend of history and leisure with this private guided tour of St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Grottoes, and a 24-hour hop-on hop-off boat ride along the Tiber River. Embark on a journey into the heart of Vatican City and discover Rome’s timeless beauty from both land and water.

Meet your expert guide in the iconic St. Peter’s Square to begin your ascent to Michelangelo’s Dome. Take in dazzling mosaics and panoramic city views from the terrace, 136 meters above the ground. From this vantage point, marvel at landmarks such as the Colosseum, Pantheon, Castel Sant’Angelo, and the lush Vatican Gardens.

Step inside the awe-inspiring St. Peter’s Basilica, where your guide will showcase Renaissance masterpieces, including Michelangelo’s Pietà and Bernini’s Baldachin. Continue underground to the Vatican Grottoes, exploring ancient papal tombs and the original remains of the fourth-century basilica for a truly immersive historical experience.

After your guided tour concludes in St. Peter’s Square, enjoy the flexibility of a 24-hour hop-on hop-off boat ticket along the Tiber River. Boats depart every 30 minutes from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., allowing you to board or disembark at four different piers, with Ponte Sant’Angelo and Tiber Island being the most convenient.

As you cruise the tranquil Tiber, take in Rome’s majestic bridges and riverside scenes from the open deck or indoor lounge. This unforgettable combination of guided sightseeing and river exploration is the perfect way to make the most of your time in Rome. Secure your spot now and experience Rome from two unique perspectives!

Rome: Visit St. Peter's Basilica and Tiber RiverBoat Ticket

Good to know

The time selected during booking refers to the Basilica tour, not the boat ride. You can enjoy the boat portion before or after the guided visit, at your convenience. A moderate level of fitness is required to climb the Dome (approx. 320 steps after the elevator). The tour is not suitable for individuals with mobility issues. A valid ID may be required to access certain areas of the Vatican. Security checks are mandatory and may cause delays of 10 to 30 minutes. Please arrive at least 20 minutes before your scheduled time. Dress code is strictly enforced: shoulders and knees must be covered to enter religious sites. St. Peter’s Basilica may close without notice due to religious events. In such cases, alternatives or partial access will be provided. The Tiber River boat ticket is included and valid for 24 hours from the first use. The boat ride and Basilica tour are not simultaneous — you may enjoy the boat ride independently before or after your guided visit.
