Major Basilicas of Rome | Private Jubilee Tour Reviews

Absolutely amazing tour with Valentina to the 3 "other" major Rome Basilicas!

We wanted to get an in depth understanding and tour of the 4 major basilicas in Rome. We had already toured with Liv for St. Peter's so now wanted to move on to the other 3. This tour was absolutely amazing and it was frankly all due to our wonderful, extremely knowledgeable guide, Valentina! She was fantastic, explaining all the details of the 3 sites, patiently answering all our questions and she had a great sense of humor - very friendly and personable. We learned so much from her in the short few hours. It was also really nice to have the driver arranged to pick us up and transport us to the next location seamlessly. Highly recommend Liv Tours, Valentina and this tour! We can't wait to return to Rome and will for sure be booking with Liv again!

Eye-Opening Tour of the Basilicas

This was a fantastic and quite eye-opening tour. Davide, our guide, had an incredible depth of knowledge of the subject matter, delivered in a very friendly and accommodative manner. A truly enjoyable experience. Highly recommend this tour and Davide!

History, Humor, and Hidden Gems with Andy

Our Private Jubilee Tour with Andy was fantastic. We loved learning more about the major Basilicas and the deep history of the Catholic Church in Rome. Andy was funny, engaging, and full of great insights that made the tour both informative and enjoyable. He had a great sense of humor and kept the pace just right, making every stop feel meaningful. We were especially delighted when he recognized us the next day while we were on another tour. We truly enjoyed our time with Andy and would gladly explore more of Rome with him again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
