VIP - Behind the Scenes Guided Tour of the Basilica and Other Sites of Interest
This VIP visit gives exclusive private access for up to 8 people to the Basilica Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, a National Historic Site of Canada. Your group will visit the treasures of the Basilica Cathedral, the Archbishop's Palace, the Episcopal Library, and the world-famous Veiled Virgin statue at Presentation Convent. Hear the stories of this aspiring World Heritage Site. Be serenaded while seated at the huge pipe organ of the Basilica (the largest musical instrument in Newfoundland and Labrador). See the Basilica's Crypt and the tombs of Bishop Power and Archbishop Roche. Visit an exceptional collection of stained glass, neoclassical sculpture, artworks and their artists, and be one of a very few who have rung the Basilica's bells. The tour includes private visits to the Basilica Library to see rare books and to the Basilica’s Sacristy to see the cathedral's historical vestments and sacred vessels, and will conclude with a private reception featuring a special vintage Cuvee Vatican (not altar wine!).
