CHRISTIAN Rome: the Papal Basilicas by private transportation

Explore the most important Basilicas in Rome by air-con mini van from your hotel in Rome. As a Roman Catholic and a licensed guide for the Vatican City, I will be honored to guide you through the holiest and most important early Papal Basilicas! Starting with St. Mary Major, an authentic jewel in the crown of Roman churches, we'll head to St John Lateran, the Cathedral of Rome and the most important of the four major basilicas. Known as St John Lateran Archbasilica, it's considered the mother church of the Roman Catholic faithful! Here we'll also see the Holy Stairs (Scala Sancta) renowned because it is believed that Jesus Christ stepped on them during His Passion. Our last stop is the Basilica of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem, built around 320 A. D. by St. Helena, that contains several significant relics brought from the Holy Land including fragments of the True Cross. *optional visit to Saint Paul (1 additional hour)
