Major Basilicas of Rome | Private Jubilee Tour Reviews

Kids Loved It Too

I was hesitant to bring our 10- and 13-year-olds on such a tour, but they were fascinated by the whispering arches at St. John Lateran and the massive golden mosaic of Christ at St. Paul’s. Having a private car kept the day easy and enjoyable for everyone.

An Emotional Journey Through Rome’s Basilicas

Passing through the Holy Door at St. Paul’s was the highlight of my pilgrimage to Rome. Elena, our guide, spoke with such warmth and conviction that the whole group felt connected. This was the Jubilee experience I had hoped for.

From History Buff to Believer

I joined this tour more for the history than the religious aspect, but I left with a newfound appreciation for both. Learning about the Great Schism while standing in St. John Lateran was unforgettable. LivTours really knows how to balance scholarship with atmosphere.

Peaceful and Profound

I especially appreciated the quiet moments in the cloister at St. Paul’s. Our guide gave us time to pause and reflect, which made the tour feel very personal. I left feeling renewed.

Luxury Meets Spiritual Depth

This was not just another tour—it felt like a curated pilgrimage. The chauffeur was professional, the car comfortable, and our guide Chiara’s storytelling was moving. The relic of the Manger at Santa Maria Maggiore touched my heart most of all.

Sacred Art and Architecture in One Day

The baroque design of St. John Lateran and the ancient bronze senate doors were fascinating. I loved how our guide Davide explained both the religious and artistic importance of each basilica. Ending at the Loggia in Santa Maria Maggiore, with its mosaics of the miracle of the snow, was a perfect finale.

Incredible History for the Whole Family

We brought our teenage son, who usually gets bored with history, but he was captivated by the portraits of every pope at St. Paul’s. Our guide Giulia made the stories accessible for all of us. The private driver made the logistics so easy—especially with kids in tow.

A Day of Wonder and Reverence

The tour exceeded my expectations. Standing before the Holy Doors with our guide Elena explaining their meaning during the Jubilee year was an emotional experience. The chauffeur service made the day seamless, and Santa Maria Maggiore’s gold ceiling glittered in the afternoon sun—an image I’ll never forget.

Rome Comes Alive

Our guide Marco had such energy and enthusiasm, especially when describing the gladiators of the Colosseum and the intrigues of the Popes. It made the history feel alive and relevant. We learned so much and had fun doing it.

Truly Once in a Lifetime

Walking through the Holy Doors during the Jubilee year is something I will never forget. The fact that LivTours made it private, comfortable, and so informative turned it into the perfect pilgrimage day.
