Opciones de la excursión
Itinerario
Partimos del distrito histórico de Roma, llamado Borgo. El guía hará una introducción a la Ciudad del Vaticano y le mostrará pasajes secretos del Papa.
La Plaza de San Pedro es uno de los lugares más famosos (¡y sin duda uno de los más sagrados!) Del mundo. Fue diseñado en el siglo XVII por Gian Lorenzo Bernini, conocido como el arquitecto más consumado de Roma en ese momento. El Papa Alejandro VIII, quien encargó la plaza, le pidió a Bernini que enfatizara la importancia de San Pedro como "la puerta al cielo" y el arquitecto implementó la solicitud a la perfección. Dividió la plaza en un área trapezoidal más pequeña contigua a la Basílica y una parte principal ovalada, que juntas crean una planta en forma de ojo de cerradura gigante.
La vista desde lo alto de la cúpula de San Pedro es aclamada a lo largo y ancho como el mejor panorama de Roma. Desde estas alturas también podrá contemplar toda la Ciudad del Vaticano, con sus espléndidos jardines. Esto es 360 ° de pura magia, ya que la Ciudad Eterna se extiende hasta las colinas más allá, y su guía lo ayudará a detectar muchos techos y cúpulas famosos, desde el Panteón hasta el Castillo de Sant'Angelo y más.
Conocido por una serie de nombres, criptas vaticanas, grutas vaticanas o las pegadizas 'Vatacombs', este es el enorme cementerio subterráneo debajo de San Pedro que alberga las tumbas santificadas de varios papas, mártires, reyes y otros fieles que la iglesia central del catolicismo ha recopilado a lo largo de sus milenios de historia. Incluso se pueden ver algunas columnas de la Basílica de San Pedro original construida por el emperador Constantino en el siglo IV d.C.
Pasa junto a la más pequeña del mundo, la Ciudad del Vaticano, por la Columna de Bernini.

When my wife and I were planning our "bucket list" trip to Rome the top of our to do list was a visit to The Vatican. Having looked at many options for guided tours we came across the What a Life Tours "Best of the Best " 3 hour small group tour which seemed to fit everything we wanted to do - skip the queues, visit the Vatican museums, the Sistine Chapel and St Peters Basilica. Elaine, our friendly and amusing guide, shared her wide ranging knowledge of the Vatican's history and treasures in a way that was informative without being overpowering, all the time guiding us through the crowds and getting us to the most advantageous viewing points to fully appreciate the splendour and intricacies of the architecture, artwork and sculptures of all 3 buildings. We would have no hestition in recommending this tour.
Dear Guest, We greatly appreciate the recommendation and are delighted to hear that the tour was everything you had hoped for! Just to note, the service you left this review for is our Ultimate Basilica Tour with Dome & Crypts | Small Group, whilst the tour you participated in is the Skip-the-Line Vatican Sistine Chapel & St. Peter's | Small Group, which includes the 3 sites you listed in your review! Nevertheless, thank you for including us in knocking another item off your bucket list, and we'd be more than happy to be a part of knocking more items off your future bucket lists! Continued safe travels ahead, and all the very best! Kind regards, Carima

Our tour was canceled right when our group was ready to leave. It was frustrating and certainly messed up our travel schedule, but the company did issue a refund the next day.
