Private Tour: Jubilee year Holy Sites of Rome
Description
Pope Francis proclaimed the Jubilee Year of Mercy starting on December 8, 2015 and close to the 2025 Jubilee YEAR, we are ready for it. This private tour gives you the opportunity to learn more about the meaning of this event as you visit the major and most representative religious sites of Rome. Escorted by your English-speaking driver, visit the Basilica of St Paul Outside the Wall, the Basilica of St. Praxedis, and the Patriarchal Basilica of St. Mary Major, and gain a more in-depth experience than you would on most typical tours of the city's Christian sites. You'll discover hidden secrets and treasures of these landmarks and learn about their significance to the Jubilee Year of Mercy. Even though the Jubilee Year will be proclaimed over, the spirit of such a memorable year will continue, and you will feel its essence with us.

Max was an amazing guide. His knowledge far exceeded my expectations. What an experience! I highly recommend any tour given by him.
Best experience Max our tour guide not only was friendly but very knowledgeable he went above and beyond to make sure we we where able to see all the locations he did not rush us and answer any question we had if you decide to take a Christianity tour ask for Max
We were simply wowed by the experience, knowledge, and passion of our guide, Massimo “Max”. Both a citizen of Italy and US, he brought the holy door Rome experience to life. We would follow him anywhere! It was the highlight of our 3 week trip to Italy. It is a “Must” experience for historians and religion lovers alike. You won’t be disappointed.
Massimo was a fabulous guide and historian. Probably the best we have ever had. Being bi-cultural (Italian and American) certainly helped. His Jubilee Holy sight tour was remarkably thorough and comprehensive. We are still discussing it 5 days later. We would follow him as a guide anywhere!
Excellent experience, Max was very knowledgeable. Superb explanation, very informative and helpful. It was highly recommended
This tour was a highlight 4 doors for jubilee were easily crossed and every church was different and beautiful What made it extra special was our guide carola and driver max Thank you for a great and memorable morning last day in rome
Our tour guide Max was absolutely incredible He had a vast knowledge of all the sites we visited as well as the history of each of them. It was very informative so that when we went to visit the site, we knew exactly what we were looking at. We had the best day ever in Rome!
This was an excellent tour. Not only was I taken to see places that I would never had a chance to see such as Chiesa del Gesù and the Abbey of the Three Fountains, Max also arranged for me to attend Mass at Maria Maggiore and for an English speaking tour of San Sebastiano catacombs at the last minute. He was very knowledgeable of the history of Rome including pre- and post-Christian eras. His knowledge of church history is encyclopaedic. He is an excellent driver and new exactly the best and most convenient places to park. He is very courteous and a pleasure to spend seven hours with.
The Guys from Rome Private Excursions were GREAT!!!! We learned a lot about the Holy Doors of the Cathedrals. They took us to two additional holy sites in Rome. One was the Holy Steps and another contained some very important relics. They were on time and always pointed out interesting spots along the tour. I highly recommend this tour. Regis P. Kowalski
