Outside the magnificent Renaissance church, your guide will tell you all there is to know about the history of the Vatican State, it's Swiss Guard, and how St. Peter's Square was designed.

At the end of your experience, you'll also be lead you through the underground level, the Catacombs – an area of the Vatican rarely seen by tourists – where the tombs of the former popes are still kept today.
