Private Jubilee Special the Papal Basilicas of Rome
Description
There's more to Rome than St. Peter's. There are three other Papal Basilicas in the city, each one of them with a Holy Door and an altar reserved for the Pope. These majestic buildings preserve precious relics, works of art and tombs of many popes. We will meet at Santa Maria Maggiore, the first church ever to be dedicated to Mary Mother of God. Then a transport will pick us up and take us to Saint Paul outside the walls, where you'll have the chance of visiting the hidden medieoval cloister. Our tour will end at Rome's Cathedral of Saint John Lateran, the Head and Mother of all Churches, that also has a beautiful medieval garden. After the tour you'll have the chance of visiting the nearby Holy Stairs, the very same Jesus stepped on his way to trial in Jerusalem.

Our dream and the purpose of our trip was to experience the Jubilee and walk through the Holy Doors🙏, and this company made that possible with such ease, reverence, and spirituality, completely fulfilling the deepest intentions of our pilgrimage. The comfort of a private tour through the major basilicas, guided by the incredibly knowledgeable and well-versed Luciana🤗🤗, made the experience even more exceptional. The VIP access was priceless, while crowds waited in long lines, we moved effortlessly and peacefully through each site. The tour was informative, enjoyable, and never rushed; on the contrary, the pacing was comfortable and perfectly timed. This was a truly meaningful, enriching, and unforgettable way to experience the Jubilee. Highly recommended! 🙏👏🏻🤗🙏
Thank you to Irene for this great experience with my mother and godmother; it was a unique experience and full of emotions to see all the basilicas, pass through the holy door and with unique and private antebciok. Thank you to Sandra for organizing it and Cristina for referring us after Pope ñ’s audience tour. Thanks to the 3 for your attentions
