What you can expect

Step into the world of Raphael and uncover some of Rome’s most beautiful and lesser-known treasures. This 1.5-hour private guided tour takes you through four stunning historic sites where Raphael left his mark: Basilica di Santa Maria del Popolo, Sant’Agostino, Santa Maria della Pace, and the Pantheon.

Your journey begins at Santa Maria del Popolo, where Raphael’s architectural vision comes to life in the elegant Chigi Chapel. Admire its classical symmetry and the mosaic composition of the dome, also designed by the artist. Then continue to Sant’Agostino, home to Raphael’s striking fresco of the Prophet Isaiah, a powerful image blending spiritual intensity with lifelike realism.

At Santa Maria della Pace, marvel at the colourful fresco of the Sibyls, where Raphael’s dynamic style brings these mythological figures to life. Painted in the right chapel right after you enter, this work reflects both the artist’s deep connection to Renaissance beauty and classical themes. Your tour concludes at the Pantheon, where you’ll visit Raphael’s tomb - a moment to reflect on his enduring legacy beneath one of Rome’s most iconic domes.

For those wanting more, choose to extend your tour with a 1-hour visit to Villa Farnesina, a Renaissance villa in the Trastevere district. This jewel is adorned with stunning frescoes by Raphael and his students, including the celebrated Triumph of Galatea.

This tour is ideal for art lovers, history buffs, and curious travellers eager to explore Raphael’s world beyond the typical tourist trail. Walk in the footsteps of a genius and see how his vision helped shape the soul of Rome.
