Hop on your bike in central Rome, and follow your guide around the streets of Rome to learn about the Holy Year of Mercy, an event that the Catholic Church has billed as the Extraordinary Jubilee. As you ride at a steady pace, hear about Pope Boniface VIII who put Rome on the pilgrimage map when he first created the papal jubilee.
Early pilgrims to the city were tasked with visiting seven churches; on this tour you do it in just six hours. Check out the ancient Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, the burial place of St Stephen at the Church of San Lorenzo and the Santa Croce — home to the Passion relics. See the Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano, admire the catacombs of the Church of San Sebastiano and discover the delights of the UNESCO-listed Basilica of St Paul Outside the Walls.
Complete your day of pilgrimage around the city with a traditional Roman pilgrimage lunch. As you eat, learn some more about the churches and how they became known in the 16th century, thanks to St Phillip Neri — a man who spent most of his life assisting pilgrims.
Your tour finishes back at the start point.
