What you'll see and do
Basilica Papale Di San Paolo Fuori le Mura
The Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls is one of the four major papal basilicas in Rome and a significant pilgrimage site. Situated just outside the ancient Roman city walls, it stands as the burial place of Saint Paul, one of the most influential apostles in Christianity. Originally built by Emperor Constantine in the 4th century, the basilica was reconstructed after a devastating fire in the 19th century, which has left it with a blend of ancient and neo-classical architectural elements.

Excellent One Day Tour in Rome
I usually never write reviews, but I felt that the service from RomeinLimo was so extraordinary, that it had to be written. My husband and I wanted to go through all four Holy Doors in Rome during the 2025 Holy Year. The only company that I could find that did it was RomeInLimo. In one day, Silvia (guide) and Francesco (driver) took us to St. Peter's Basilica, St. Mary Major, St. John Lateran, St. Paul Outside the Walls, two other minor basilicas, Sistine Chapel and Vatican museums. We are in our seventies and it was certainly a long and exhausting day. But with Silvia's patience and kindness, and Francesco's excellent and efficient driving skills, we made it through. I also want to commend Jany in the office. My emails and questions were always answered promptly and efficiently. All in all, I highly recommend RomeInLimo for any tours in Rome and surrounding areas. Susan F.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time out of your day to post your comment, I'm glad to know that you had a great time with us! Our goal is to provide excellent services for our clients, it is rewarding to see our efforts recognized in your review. Hope to see you back soon!

Sacred and Historic Rome Jubilee Highlights Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rome.
How much does Sacred and Historic Rome Jubilee Highlights Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1,673 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rome usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sacred and Historic Rome Jubilee Highlights Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rome is not rushed.
Is Sacred and Historic Rome Jubilee Highlights Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rome, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sacred and Historic Rome Jubilee Highlights Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sacred and Historic Rome Jubilee Highlights Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sacred and Historic Rome Jubilee Highlights Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rome can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rome and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sacred and Historic Rome Jubilee Highlights Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rome within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rome?
+
Rome runs on skip-the-line access. The Colosseum underground, the Vatican before opening, and the catacombs south of the walls all require a licensed operator, and the price gap between the good ones and the rest is smaller than you would expect. We rank by guide credentials, group size and how reliably the promised access actually materialises. On Outty we rank every Rome experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rome Pizza & Gelato Class with Wine by Cooking Italy, Rome [4in1] Pasta Making_Tiramisù_Wine Tasting_Secret Cellar, Rome Pasta and Tiramisu Class: Ravioli, Fettuccine & Fine Wine 5*. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rome?
+
April, May, September and October. August is hot and half the city is shut. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rome?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Sacred and Historic Rome Jubilee Highlights Tour?
+
Included: Skip the line Vatican tickets; Bottled water; Catacombs tickets; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Licensed tour guide. Not included: Lunch; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Sacred and Historic Rome Jubilee Highlights Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 1160 listed pickup locations in and around Rome. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Sacred and Historic Rome Jubilee Highlights Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Italian. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sacred and Historic Rome Jubilee Highlights Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Sacred and Historic Rome Jubilee Highlights Tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Rome. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
