Explore St. Peter’s Basilica with a guide, then visit Castel Sant’Angelo with entry tickets on this 180-minute Rome tour.

About this tour

Discover Rome’s landmark basilica on a guided visit to St. Peter’s Basilica, then continue to Castel Sant’Angelo with entry tickets. This 180-minute experience pairs expert guidance at the basilica with the freedom to explore the castle without a guide.

Meet the City Rome Tours staff at Borgo Pio 96, present your voucher, and set out after check-in. Priority entrance tickets are provided for both sites, and headphones help you follow the guided portion. Please arrive 15 minutes early and bring guest names that match their IDs. Security screening is required and can take up to 30 minutes during busy periods. Dress with shoulders and knees covered for basilica entry.

St. Peter’s Basilica remains an active parish, so religious celebrations can cause unexpected closures. If that happens, an alternative time or itinerary may be offered when possible. Note that the tour does not cover the high altar or Michelangelo’s dome, and Castel Sant’Angelo is not guided. Choose this Rome St. Peter’s Basilica and Castel Sant’Angelo tour to experience two storied sights in one visit.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
