Great guide who brought the tour to life. Very interesting, well worth taking the guided tour! Beware if you're planning a tight schedule of activities: the Basilica tour lasts a full 2 hours without the dome.

What I find bad is that you mail that you have to bring ID and that I walk around with my passport in my pocket all day and you don't ask for it. And I think it's bad that you say be on time otherwise you can't come along and the case was not yet finished. At the agreed time only 25 minutes later.

The meet location was easy to find. Then had to stand in more an hour queue before getting in. he basilica is incredible and we discovered amazing places. The guide was very clear and patient with everyone. Despite the hour wait in a coma to get in, he made it very enjoyable.

We were very satisfied. Our guide made the queuing time in St. Peter's Square very entertaining with explanations and stories. The explanations in St. Peter's Basilica were also very detailed. We really enjoyed it.

Excellent attitude and information Leandra gave us, she made the wait in line very pleasant and provided valuable information about the Vatican, in my case I made a last minute reservation and they were super efficient so I could take the tour on time, thank you.

Wir hatten auf einen schnelleren Einlass gehofft. Tatsächlich standen wir fast eine Stunde oft in der prallen Sonne. Unsere Führerin hat uns in die Zeit interessant unterhalten. Die Führung war auch sehr gut und zu empfehlen.

Booked a small guided tour to start 2pm and based that around other tickets and we met our guide at 2 and then had to stand in an hour queue before getting in, by which time we had to leave our guide as only had 15 mins to see the church before rushing to next ticketed event ! Be helpful to know tour didn't start at 2 and would last a lot longer to allow for planning. Guide was lovely tho! Felt bad we didn't stay

I wasn't aware that the ticket still meant we had to line up and wait. If this was explained in the description, I would havwle forgone the guided tour and just lined up early in the morning myself. Standing in the rain for an hr was not ideal. The guide himself was wonderful though.

We had a great experience and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour. Only one minor inconvenience, one of our listening device was not always working correctly. I would recommend that they are tested before being given out to make sure sound is clear and doesn't cut out at any moment.

The guide was very clear and patient with everyone, she also made sure that as a group we didn't get ahead of the line, she knew everything and thanks to her we were able to see the dad.

Our guide Katy was wonderful! Despite the hour wait in a coma to get in, she made it very enjoyable and you can tell she has great knowledge and taste for the history of this country. The experience was awesome. We had already visited the Vatican without a guide and this time it was 100% worth it.

Lots of "insider knowledge" from someone who gives daily tours of St. Peter's Basilica. ATTENTION - you still have to queue at security, for us it was only 20 minutes, but you should be aware of this.
