Semi-privérondleiding door de christelijke locaties van Rome
Beschrijving
Ontdek Rome en verken de sites die deze stad tot het centrum van het christendom hebben gemaakt. Je kunt deze oude geschiedenis herbeleven door de imposante pauselijke basilieken, plaatsen waar geschiedenis, geloof en kunst samenvloeien door het leven van pausen, heiligen en kunstenaars. U kunt een bezoek brengen aan de Basiliek van Sint-Paulus buiten de Muren, met zijn prachtige middeleeuwse klooster, en vervolgens doorgaan naar de eerste basiliek in Rome, Sint-Jan van Lateranen, de plaats van de veroveringen tussen de politieke macht en de macht van de kerk. Je vervolgt je reis in het katholicisme in de basiliek van Santa Maria Maggiore, de belangrijkste van de Romeinse kerken gewijd aan de Maagd Maria, met veel mozaïeken en decoraties. Je besluit de tuor die de elegantie en de artistieke en architectonische majesteit van de Sint-Pietersbasiliek en de meesterwerken van Bernini en Michelangelo bewondert.

De Papal Basilica van St. Paul Outside the Walls (Italiaans: Basilica Papale di San Paolo fuori le Mura), beter bekend als St. Paul's Outside the Walls, is een van Rome's vier oude, pauselijke, belangrijkste basilieken, [a] samen met de basilieken van St. John in de Lateranen, St. Peter's en St. Mary Major. De basiliek bevindt zich op Italiaans grondgebied en niet op het grondgebied van Vaticaanstad, maar de Heilige Stoel bezit de basiliek en Italië is wettelijk verplicht om het volledige eigendom te erkennen en toe te geven aan "de immuniteit die door het internationale recht aan het hoofdkwartier van de diplomatieke vertegenwoordigers van buitenlandse staten "
De Kathedraal van de Allerheiligste Verlosser en van de Heiligen Johannes de Doper en de Evangelist in de Lateranen, (Italiaans: Santissimo Salvatore e Santi Giovanni Battista ed Evangelista in Laterano) - ook bekend als de Pauselijke Boogbasiliek van Sint Jan [in] Lateraan, Sint Jan van Lateranen, of de basiliek van Lateranen - is de kathedraal kerk van het bisdom Rome in de stad Rome, Italië en daarom herbergt de cathedra, of kerkelijke zetel, van de bisschop van Rome, de paus.
De Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore is een pauselijke basiliek en de grootste katholieke mariale kerk in Rome, Italië, van welke grootte het de aanduiding "major" ontvangt. De basiliek herbergt het vereerde beeld van Salus Populi Romani, met de beeltenis van de Heilige Maagd Maria als de hulp en beschermster van het Romeinse volk, dat op 15 augustus 1838 een pauselijke kroning kreeg door paus Gregorius XVI vergezeld door zijn pauselijke stier Cælestis Regina.
De pauselijke basiliek van St. Peter in het Vaticaan (Italiaans: Basilica Papale di San Pietro in Vaticano), of gewoon de Sint-Pietersbasiliek (Latijn: Basilica Sancti Petri), is een Italiaanse Renaissance-kerk in Vaticaanstad, de pauselijke enclave in de stad Rome. Ontworpen voornamelijk door Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno en Gian Lorenzo Bernini, St. Peter's is het meest gerenommeerde werk van Renaissance architectuur en de grootste kerk ter wereld. Hoewel het noch de moederkerk van de katholieke kerk, noch de kathedraal van het bisdom Rome is, wordt de heilige Petrus beschouwd als een van de heiligste katholieke heiligdommen. Het is beschreven als "een unieke positie innemen in de christelijke wereld" en als "de grootste van alle kerken van de christenheid".

Private tour for 2 adults with very warm and friendly driver Marianna and very interesting and knowledgeable guide Anna. Excellent historical information and tour . Unfortunately St Peter’s was too crowded with long lines even at 5 pm to see with our guide.
Thank you for your review, we will be sure to tell Marianna and Anna! We are sorry about the long lines at St Peter, unfortunately due to this year's Jubilee and the fact that it was the day before a religious holiday, lines could be very long at all times of the day. We are happy that you still enjoyed the tour!
Excellent review of Christian sites in Rome. Very helpful review of the 2nd tier sites for those who have seen the 1st tier.
Thank you for your nice review!
The tour is advertised as small group, but in fact it is private and it was just my husband and I along with our guide and Driver. The tour also doesn’t advertise well as far as pick up options. Per the guide & driver we could’ve been picked up closer to where we were staying, but given it was advertised as a small group and only four pick up locations provided when booking we wasted our time and money getting a cab to one of those locations to start the tour. Also, the tour advertises that you will visit the four major basilicas in Rome, but that is impossible to do, given the time and distance between them & lines at St Peter’s. Fortunately, we had already visited Saint Peter’s Badilica, so opted with our guide to just go to the other three. Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and we enjoyed the information provided, but as someone else stated it was not as much Catholic reference and information as had expected & had received in other tours. Given that it was actually a private tour and not a group, we did enjoy the flexibility and kindness of both the guide and driver to create a route that made the most sense to visit the three basilicas, which were all amazing and beautiful, and so moving to see.
Thank you for your review
I think for us we expected this to be a Christian tour as the title says, however our guide was non religious and it seemed like we learnt more about the art work or artists, than about how the church’s relate to Christianity. I would have appreciated the tour to be a little more in depth, it felt like we were in and out. Our driver was amazing, the tour guide was also amazing, only thing is we wanted more knowledge on the Christianity side of things, which is why we booked a Christian tour.
Hello dear customer, we are sorry to read about this review as we clearly state in the product description that this tour is a journey through the art of Christianity and not a tour focused on theology. We are also really sad to read that our tour guide seems to have been discriminated by you because in your opinion she was not devoted enough.
Very quick tours in and out of the cathedrals, but very knowledgeable guide and great driver! Great way to see all the important Catholic basilicas.
Our Tour Guide was excellent. She was very knowledgeable. There were only four of us on the tour and we are family members. I appreciate Viator accommodating us when I requested a shorter tour due to time constraints as to when we had to meet our Trafalgar Tour at the hotel. The three basilicas we saw were very beautiful and impressive. (We had to omit one basilicas the reason above and we were going to see St. Peter's the next day anyway.) Our driver was also excellent and very friendly. I highly recommend this tour
Thank you very much for your review! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour and the breathtaking art of the basilicas. Hope you get to see even more in a future visit to Rome!
We had booked the semi-private tour but it happened that we were the only two on the tour. They picked us up on time and Debra did a wonderful job explaining the Churches that we saw while Alexander drove us safely around Rome. Since we were the only ones on the tour we were able to adapt it a bit to something we really wanted to see. I would recommend this company.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Debora is very nice and knowledgeable guide. If it is possible, we always try to accommodate our customer's requests!
Started with confusion on hotel pick up - we were waiting at front of hotel, don’t know where the guide was waiting. The guide (female, already forgot her name) seemed unorganized and did not fully plan ahead. We were grateful that we were the only ones to sign up for this tour as we had the tour to ourselves. The driver seemed nice, and did his job of dropping us off and picking us up from each location. However, both the driver and guide seemed to disagree/argue in Italian frequently during our tours which was not very professional. Overall the guide seemed to pick the churches that did not have a fee (and therefore did not need to have a schedule or much of a plan). She also seemed to lack in Catholic and historic information, but was ok with knowledge of some architecture. We tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and be polite. First stop we visited St. Peter square only. Our guide said the lines were too long and our whole trip would be wasted waiting to get in (so why didn't she purchase advance tickets for us??). Visited Saint Paul outside the walls - beautiful church with lots of history but the guide basically let us go on our own. A quick tour of St. Basilica of St. John in the Lateran. When we arrived at the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore we were too late to see it since it closed at 7 & we arrived 6:40 (the guards wouldn’t allow in since they closed in 20 minutes). Maybe not entirely our guides fault but the timing should have been planned better. We did get to go across the street to St. Lawrence to see the Holy Stairs, but again we went inside without the guide. The guide wanted to find another church to tour (to make up for the ones we couldn’t see?) but by that time we were tired and just wanted to return to our hotel. Perhaps with a different guide or a more definitive plan, the tour would have been satisfactory.
Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you did not enjoy the tour. Rome has vast Christian history and our guides are always well organized and prepared to show you as many things as possible in a 4 hours tour.
Wordless for the quantity and quality of works in the famous Basilica, very good maintenance and care of the works
Muchas gracias para su comentario!
Many thanks to our guide Lorène who allowed us to appreciate and understand this majestic place with a smile, simplicity and humor despite the world. Must do with a group or individual guide for rich commentary and faster access to the Basilica and Sistine Chapel. A big thank you
Merci pour la bonne note! Nous sommes si heureux que vous ayez aimé la tour et les guides touristiques. Nous espérons vous revoir bientôt! Sincères amitiés
