The Four Holy Doors in Rome Jubilee Tour is a deeply spiritual and historical experience designed for Catholic pilgrims who wish to walk through the most sacred thresholds of the Eternal City. Accompanied by a private, English-speaking guide devoted to the Catholic faith, this journey reveals the profound symbolism and grace of Rome’s four papal basilicas: St. Peter’s Basilica, St. John Lateran, St. Paul Outside the Walls, and St. Mary Major.

Each Holy Door is opened only during a Jubilee Year, offering the faithful a path to renewal, forgiveness, and indulgence. Your guide will explain the meaning of the Holy Year, the Church’s teaching on indulgences, and the history behind each basilica.

The pilgrimage begins at St. Peter’s Basilica, the spiritual heart of Catholicism, continues to St. John Lateran, the Pope’s cathedral, then to St. Paul Outside the Walls, resting place of the Apostle Paul, and ends at St. Mary Major, home to precious Marian relics.

This tour is both a journey through sacred art and history and a personal moment of prayer, reflection, and encounter with God’s mercy — an unforgettable experience for every Catholic pilgrim visiting Rome.
