The necropolis of Roman tombs, over which the Basilica was built, and what is claimed to be Peter's Tomb, can actually be visited, deep in the bowels of the Basilica. To do so one must sign up for the Scavi Tour and book well in advance as only very small groups are taken.

I have been there. It was exceptionally dim/dark I couldn’t see anything. I know I was five feet away from the wall with a niche where Peter’s bones is.

The story was that the original church was built by Emperor Constantine on top of Peter’s tomb. When the basilica was built about a thousand years later. Peter’s bones were moved to its current location a few hundred yards away.

I agree, it was very dark. They prohibit photography but some people manage to take a few pics or videos, like this one:
