    The guided tour part is very brief with only a few sights described. For the grotto, dome climb and much of the basilica, you’re on your own. No skip-the-line access.

  2. Jeff_M

    Guide was excellent. Give her a raise. Tutto bene. Narration excellent. Services good. Very knowledgeable

  3. Tabitha_S

    Book the early morning tour because you don’t skip the security queue and it can take up to 2 hours in the afternoon. We did the first tour in the morning and it took around 40 minutes to get through security. You’re very rushed around the inside to be taken to the top so didn’t feel like we got all the information we could have had on this tour.

    It was not good organized. You need to do a long line to start the tour. It is not described in the details of the tour.

    The guide was the best ever Claudia explained everything very good!! She was very nice and had a lot of knowledge

  6. Amber_W

    Tour guide was knowledgeable and easy to understand. It was nice to have general info while we stood in line for the security check. The climb was worth the view at the top.

  7. Madison_B

    Our guide, Sara was amazing and really knowledgeable! The line for security with our group was about half an hour, but Sara kept us busy with facts about Vatican City the whole time! Would definitely recommend.

  8. Dana_B

    Very informative. Glad we took the tour. Our guide Sara was excellent. Lines are long but worth the time

  9. Peter_B

    We really liked the actual Basilica and what we were able to see. The tour guide was in a rush, she did not explain a lot in detail, and seemed to be skipping pieces. We did not feel we got value from taking a guided tour.

    Excellent tour and the guide was amazing.
    East to list to. Kept things moving and also kept us all in check.
    Long queues but worth it. Amazing views from the dome. Well worth the effort.

  15. Melissa_H

    Elena was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide. We had a terrific time and learned so much! The views from the top section of the dome were fantastic!

  16. Mike_H

    Great tour. Highly recommend this one. Having a highly educated tour guide is a huge plus. Audio is a plus too.

    I have been in the St. Peter’s basilica once before on another trip – but had never been to the dome. This was such a great experience and I would really recommend it. I would also recommend getting the early tour since the lines will be long throughout the day and furthermore it will not be as hot to climb the stairs to the dome & be up there. The basilica itself is beautiful and is a must-see for anyone in Rome!

  18. Hailee_B

    Highly recommend! Daizen was so knowledgeable, kind and entertaining. We had about an hour wait to get into the security for the Vatican, it was a busy afternoon on a Sunday so we expected that. We’re so happy because we got to learn so much history about the Vatican during our wait. Inside St Peter’s is indescribable. Make sure to leave time after the tour to wander inside. The dome climb requires some effort but very doable and so worth the view from the top. Highly recommend! Thanks Daizen you were great and we really enjoyed ourselves!

    Guide was polite, educated about this location, was patient, and spoke beautiful English. Fabulous tour

  20. JamesR_W

    Guide was good but spent too much time on some location in the Basilica. Needed to more on quicker. Less focus on Michaelangelo.
