This was the most interesting Historical tour that my family did while in Rome. It was so good we have now done it twice. You have to get tickets in advance by writing the Scavi and it cost per person to see but once the 1 hour tour is done they let you out in St. Peter’s so you get to skip those lines which is worth it in the summer months. You are not supposed to take pictures inside so I only have the pictures from areas they allowed.

Nice place to visit
If you want to see a different side of the Vatican, basically from underneath then this trip/tour is well worth doing. It's amazing to seem what is actually hidden/buried beneath St Mark's church/Vatican.
Walking on Etruscan streets while peering into early first century AD mausoleums to see their paintings, mosaics and writings was a thrilling experience. And when you add an experienced, knowledgeable guide to explain the history, artifacts and stages of archaeological discoveries and who takes you to the spot where St. Peter's bones are located, the tour can't get any better. While you are taking in all of this history, you are directly under Bernini's Baldacchino and Michelangelo's dome. Awe inspiring!
This really is the most spectacular tour. Yes its hard to get into, so as soon as you know you're going to Rome, book this. Its just incredible. Im Catholic and was travelling with my athiest friend. The tour was led by a very knowledgeable guide and with us where a family from Ohio a couple from Ireland and two Catholic priests on pilgrimage one from Texas and one from Australia and every single person was in awe the whole time. It was moving and exciting and sad and incredible all at the same time. I really cannot recommend this tour enough. There are parts of the walking around that can get a bit difficult and tight so obviously if thats an issue for you then this may not be ideal. But aside from getting a bit warm this was entirely doable.
historical place, nice visit to the place
So, this was quite remarkable. The excavations showed the progression of the shrines to Peter, and how the main alter of the two churches that has been built there placed their main alters directly over Peter's grave. It was easily worth the price, no waiting in long security lines (there is security, but no line), and excellent tour guides. It ends with entrance to St. Peter's. It also gives one a moment to pray for the Church at the grave of Peter himself.
A good tour and a special, unique experience of the Vatican. I am very glad I booked this tour, however it is important to note that it can be very humid and hot underground, even during the winter time. Also, I wouldn't recommend this tour for anyone who is claustrophobic. This tour is great for anyone that loves history! We recieved a lot of facts about Roman history, mausoleums, religion and pilgrimages. However, I wish we got more information of the actual excavation process.
