What you can expect

Join us for a unique adventure through Rome with our combined tour: a daily hop-on hop-off ticket for the I Love Rome panoramic bus and skip-the-line access to the Basilica of Saint Mary Major. Enhance your visit with the optional audio guide for a richer experience.

With the panoramic bus ticket, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Rome's most iconic landmarks, such as the Colosseum, Vatican City, and the Spanish Steps. Hop on and off at your leisure to explore the sights that interest you most. The tour includes 8 key stops, each near famous landmarks, giving you the freedom to discover the city at your own pace.

The access ticket to Saint Mary Major Basilica allows you to head straight into the heart of this historic basilica. Explore ancient mosaics, the Holy Cradle, and the remains of Pope Francis, while immersing yourself in the spirituality and art of this sacred place. The optional audio guide will lead you through the historical and artistic details of the basilica, offering a complete experience.

The standard entrance ticket grants access not only to the basilica but also to its exclusive Upper Areas, normally hidden from most visitors. Explore the Loggia delle Benedizioni with its elevated view of the square, walk through the historic Sala dei Papi, admire the elegant Scala del Bernini, and discover the treasures preserved inside the Liberian Museum. These areas offer a unique glimpse into the basilica’s spiritual, artistic, and architectural heritage, but they require a longer exploration, so make sure you can dedicate enough time to fully enjoy everything the entrance ticket includes.

The audioguide option, instead, is designed for those who prefer a fully independent and insightful visit. It includes skip-the-line access, allowing you to enter the basilica quickly and enjoy detailed audio commentary at your own pace. Please note that this version does not include access to the Upper Areas.
