Your Jubilee 2025 Tour begins when you arrive on your own at your hotel. Upon your arrival, you will have time to relax and settle in before joining the group for a welcome aperitif, followed by a delicious dinner, in the rooftop restaurant of your hotel.

Buongiorno! After a delicious breakfast at your hotel begin your day with a guided tour of the first of the four major Basilicas in Rome: St Peter’s Basilica, the largest church in the world. Enter through one of the Holy Doors, which is only open during a Jubilee and symbolizes the passage to redemption and grace.

Then you will also have the chance to explore the nearby church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, a hidden gem which offers a fascinating glimpse into Baroque architecture.

At the end of this immersive day, you will enjoy a delicious dinner in a local restaurant and buonanotte!

Good morning for another day of this amazing Jubilee 2025 Group Tour. During this day you will visit one of the most important papal basilicas of Rome: Saint Mary Major.
