Burying-ground Tours
For those who love history, there can be no greater thrill than seeing the tomb of Saint Peter deep beneath the Basilica that bears his name. This special visit to the necropolis can only be taken with permission from the Fabbrica di San Pietro (the Vatican excavations office).
These tours are only available on a limited number of dates and require advanced booking. These are 90-minute escorted tours that include only a small group of around 12 people and are strictly for those who are 15 years of age and above.
During the tour, you will learn about the history of the area and see where the tombs of Popes are located. You will also be able to walk through the Vatican grottoes which are one level up from the tomb of St Peter. You will also get a chance to bypass all the queues to go up into the basilica and enter directly inside.
