Overview

Being major basilicas, they have a holy door and a papal altar: the holy doors are opened with a special ritual by the Pope or one of his commissioners only for the duration of a Holy Year, and they play an important role in granting the so-called plenary indulgence ; the papal altar is an altar where only the pope or a few other priests can celebrate the Eucharist.

Excellent Tour

Beatrice was an excellent driver and guide. She provided the best balance of tour details while also allowing for us to explore the basilicas on our own. She was so professional and courteous. We also enjoyed the little anecdotes and stories as we travelled about Rome.
Awesome tour with Carratoni Tours

Our guide, Mauricio, was fantastic! This was the perfect private tour of St. Mary Major, St. John’s, St. Paul outside the walls and the holy steps. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and even took us to a Jesuit church not on the tour, with a fabulous view of the city of Rome. He also recommended a local restaurant for lunch that was so delicious! He was a safe driver and gave us plenty of time to explore the basilicas. 10 stars for this private tour!
JUST WOW!

Roberto gave us the most amazing private tour of Perugia. He is a fantastic safe driver, and has so much knowledge of Perugia. We loved every second and would highly recommend this tour company. The communication 10/10 and the lunch they organized at a family winery was SENSATIONAL - couldn’t be happier! THANKYOU so much!
