What you can expect

Step into the heart of Christian Rome on this private Pilgrim Churches tour, designed for travellers seeking spiritual depth, history, and comfort. With your professional English-speaking driver-guide, you will explore Rome’s most important basilicas and holy sites, many of which have welcomed pilgrims for nearly two millennia.

Enjoy private transport, a flexible pace, and door-to-door service as you journey through the foundations of Christianity in the Eternal City.

St. John Lateran – The Pope’s Cathedral

Begin at St. John Lateran, the official ecclesiastical seat of the Pope and the oldest of Rome’s four papal basilicas. Known as the Mother of all Churches, it has hosted major councils and remains a powerful symbol of papal authority.

The Holy Steps (Scala Santa)

Next, visit the Scala Santa, the 28 marble steps believed to be those Jesus ascended before Pontius Pilate. Brought to Rome by Saint Helena in the 4th century, this site remains one of the most revered pilgrimage destinations in the world.

St. Paul Outside the Walls

Continue to St. Paul Outside the Walls, built over the tomb of Saint Paul the Apostle. Admire its vast nave, golden mosaics, and peaceful cloister while standing at one of Christianity’s most important burial sites.

Santa Maria Maggiore

Explore Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the greatest Marian churches in the world. Famous for its stunning 5th-century mosaics, it is one of the few basilicas to preserve its original early-Christian structure.

Domine Quo Vadis Church

Along the Appian Way, stop at Domine Quo Vadis, where tradition says Saint Peter met Christ while fleeing Rome. This encounter inspired Peter’s return and martyrdom, making this small church deeply symbolic.

San Sebastiano & the Catacombs

Visit San Sebastiano Outside the Walls, dedicated to the martyr Saint Sebastian and built above ancient catacombs used by early Christians.

Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem

Your final stop is Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, home to sacred relics of the Passion, including fragments of the True Cross. This basilica offers a moving conclusion to your pilgrimage journey.

After the tour, your driver will return you comfortably to your hotel.
