Sint-Pietersbasiliek met koepelbeklimming en crypten, kleine groepstour
Beschrijving
Ontdek de geheimen van 's werelds grootste kerk tijdens onze uitgebreide rondleiding door de Sint-Pietersbasiliek. De prachtige Sint-Pieter is een echt Romeins icoon, en onze speciale kleine groepsreis is de perfecte manier om de fascinerende geschiedenis van de kerk te leren kennen en de meesterwerken te waarderen. Betreed de basiliek vroeg om de lange wachtrijen bij de ingang te vermijden die zich later op de dag vormen, en maak een rit met lift naar de torenhoge koepel van de kerk voordat je te voet naar de top klimt om neer te kijken op de hele Eeuwige Stad die voor je ligt uitgestrekt een van 's werelds meest spectaculaire panorama's. Onze deskundige gids zal een dramatisch verhaal weven over de apostelen en pausen, kunstenaars en architecten die hun stempel hebben gedrukt op de Sint-Pietersbasiliek. Bewonder de Pieta van Michelangelo en het Baldakijn van Bernini voordat we ons bezoek afsluiten in de sfeervolle crypten onder de kerk, waar generaties pausen zijn begraven in spectaculaire graven. Dit is een unieke kans om de Sint-Pietersbasiliek op zijn best te ervaren!
Rondreisopties
Reisroute
We gaan vroeg de kerk binnen, op het rustigste moment van de dag. Er is geen manier om de wachtrijen bij St. Peter's over te slaan, maar ook al kan er op dit tijdstip een korte rij staan, je hoeft niet lang te wachten voordat je naar binnen gaat! Als je in Rome bent, is het beklimmen van de iconische koepel van de Sint-Pietersbasiliek een absolute must, en dit is hoe onze diepgaande Sint-Pieterstour zal beginnen. Op onze reisroute krijgt u alles te weten over dit wonder van renaissanceontwerp: ontdek hoe een oude Michelangelo door het Pantheon werd geïnspireerd om de hoogste koepel ter wereld te toveren om het enorme nieuwe middelpunt van het katholieke geloof in de 16e eeuw te bekronen, en krijg een unieke en persoonlijke kijk op de koepel terwijl we de spannende klim naar boven maken. We sluiten onze diepgaande Sint-Pieterstocht af met een reis naar beneden naar de sfeervolle grotten onder de kerk. In deze ondergrondse crypten zijn generaties pausen begraven, al in de vijfde eeuw.

We booked our week long trip to Rome about 4 weeks before our plane took off. I did my homework and prepared a loose itinerary. There’s so much to see and do and, we didn’t want to miss out by not booking a tour in advance or going with the wrong company. Tons of helpful advice out there - on this site and others that led me to Through Eternity tours and I’m happy to report I made the right choice. Thank you all who posted your reviews ;) We chose TE because they had the exact tour we wanted - Basilica with the Dome climb, early morning to avoid crowds (even tho this was December, it was the shoulder week to the start of Jubilee 2025). Claudia met us outside at 7am. She is a Roman herself and joyfully shared her wealth of knowledge about this historic influential breathtakingly beautiful site. The tour guides complete a 4 year education and then must pass a licensing test. They are lovers of art and history. Claudia made this 3 hour tour a highlight for these two American tourists and we are so grateful. For the Dome climb, we took the optional elevator up part way. Claudia let us take a break at the restrooms and then allowed us 40 min to complete the climb and return to her. Plenty of time to move at our own pace! There is so much to take in I highly recommend you do book this guided tour. There are other things in the city you can explore on your own and save the money.
Hi Christ, It’s wonderful to hear that your planning and research led you to us—and even better to know that we delivered an unforgettable experience for your trip to Rome. St. Peter’s Basilica with the Dome climb is such a special tour, and we’re thrilled it was a highlight of your journey! We hope your memories of this tour stay with you for years to come. Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to see you again soon!
This tour is fantastic. Our guide, Guia, was very experienced, knowledgeable and lots of fun to be with. The tour was absolutely worth the cost. We will take many more tours with this company. Highly recommend.
Hello Cynthia, It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed the tour! We’re so glad it was worth it and left such a positive impression. We can’t wait to welcome you on more tours in the future—thank you for the recommendation!
This review is for the St Marks Basilica twilight tour with “Gina”. Excellent experience, especially later in the day. Gina was informative, and engaging. It was the perfect amount of information from an experienced guide.
Thank you for the lovely review! We’re delighted that Gina made your St. Mark’s Basilica twilight tour so enjoyable. Exploring in the evening adds such a special atmosphere, and we’re glad her insights made it memorable. Grazie mille for joining us!
Gentleman guide was lovely and the tour would have been just fine had we been provided with headphones. The company failed to deliver headphones to our group. The vastness of St Peter’s causes voices to be lost. We were a small group of only 6 people; me and my husband plus 4 other guests. Yet, nobody was able to hear much of what was said. To my dismay we were not given any compensation for the poor service. Disappointed in Through Eternity and would probably not book with them again.
Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. We understand how frustrating the lack of headphones must have been, especially in a venue as vast as St. Peter’s. Please reach out to us directly at office@througheternity.com, and we’ll be happy to assist you further. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and hope to improve your experience in the future.
Enjoyable tour with a very engaging guide. Lots of insights In St Peter’s Basilica. She readily adjusted the itinerary to meet our needs.
Thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the guide’s flexibility and insights at St. Peter’s Basilica. Hope to see you again!
Through Eternity should never have offered a tour on this day - there was a special event and both the crypt and many parts of St Peter's were closed. It was very hard to find the guide as they gave very unclear instructions and half the people in our group were lost in late. The guide did not have a sign as other companies do. Our guide did not do the dome climb so at the top of the dome when you want your guide to show you and talk about all the buildings around Rome the guide wasn't there. I listened to other guides which was great. The tourist billed as 3 hours and we got it most one of the guide's time. We were later getting in line because so many people in the tour were late. We got up early to do the skip the line tour and it didn't seem like it was any better than it was later in the day. Disappointing.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re genuinely sorry that things didn’t go as smoothly as expected, especially given the special event disruptions. We understand how frustrating that can be, and we will strive to improve our communication about meeting points and unexpected changes in the itinerary. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us make sure future tours are more seamless. We hope to welcome you back for a better experience next time!
