During this magical morning tour, you will have a unique opportunity to see the Eternal City from its two best observation decks – the Castle of St. Angel and the dome of St. Peter in the Vatican.
The Vatican is one of the most minor and most closed governments globally, and it’s a secret we will explore together. As well as, during Rome sightseeing tour at sunrise, our meeting will take place in the early morning at 6:30 am, which is the opening time for visits to square of St. Peter’s Cathedral.
You will not have to wait in queue for 1-3 hours during the heat as other tourists do. We will go inside the cathedral after no more than 5-10 minutes
The best time to visit St Peter’s Basilica is 7 a.m. The first hour will be dedicated to the review of the square – the colonnade of Bernini, the facade of the cathedral, stroll through the most significant Christian temple in the world, in which are located:
Also, you will learn:
In the second half of the private tour, we will get to the highest point of Rome – the dome of St. Peter’s Cathedral. You will have to overcome only 320 steps to reach the height of 136 meters with the most classic and best view of Rome. You will see the shortest railway in the world, the papal residence, and the main sights from a bird’s-eye view.
Attention: The tour is contraindicated for people suffering from cardiovascular diseases
After going down from the dome, you will have a unique opportunity to send a postcard from the Vatican post to friends, parents, or yourself. In the 21st century, we have an era of social networks and information technology, so traditional signs of attention are gaining increasing value. Imagine that in your mailbox will come “greetings from the Vatican” with the stamp of the smallest and most influential state in the world. My friends and relatives always appreciate more letters that are not texted on the phone screen but written by hand.
Tip: Think in advance to whom you want to send such an unusual surprise and find out their postal addresses
1st option: we are going to visit the biggest and the most ancient castle in Rome – the Castle of St. Angel (Castel Sant’Angelo).
We will find out how the prison was organized in the Middle Ages and how prisoners got there. For example, even some popes were famous prisoners of the Castle of St. Angel. Moreover, from the observation deck of the castle, you will enjoy a unique and breathtaking view of the Vatican.
In this case, the tour will end at noon on Rome’s bridge of Angels.
2nd option: We can go to the author’s tour DIVING INTO TRASTEVERE since it’s almost lunchtime. We will go up to the observation deck on the Janiculum hill and see the fountain of Acqua Paola, hidden from most tourists, the great-grandfather of the famous Trevi fountain. Later, by 1 pm, we’ll go down together to my favorite area of Rome for lunch in the best Roman pizzeria. Finally, at about 2 pm, you can safely return to the hotel for a midday dream.
