Early Morning St Peter's Basilica with Dome and Crypt Group Tour
S.T PETER'S BASILICA'S MOST COMPLETE, AMAZING EARLY MORNING GUIDED TOUR. St. Peter's Square, Basilica, Grotteos, Crypts, Tomb, and climbing the Dome guided Tour and Tickets. Meet your guide early near St. Peter's Square, and visit St. Peter’s Basilica at its quietest before the crowds descend. By an elevator, head up to the first level of the dome and the balcony. Admire the Basilica’s inside view of the dome on the Bernini’s canopy below and the array of incredible mosaics that circle the dome. Climb the spiral staircase to the top of the dome, the highest point within Rome, for breathtaking views of the Eternal City. Come down from the Dome and enter the Basilica with your guide, walk through the highlights, and see the ‘Pietà’ of Michelangelo and all the masterpieces adorning the Basilica before descending to the underground crypts. Here, you can see Saint Peter's Tomb and the burial spot of hundreds of popes. After the tour, spending extra time in the Basilica is possible.

Where this sits in Rome
Rome is about 33 min by road from Rome Fiumicino Airport. Three thousand years stacked on top of each other, still busy being a capital. Stay central and walk — the Forum, the Pantheon and a dozen churches worth the detour are closer together than the map suggests, and the city rewards wandering more than ticking off.
