An amazing guide, Kelly, made this a very special and memorable experience. Extremely knowledgeable, always with additional perspective and information. Also very helpful, kind and patient with a large and diverse group. We got a lot more than we expected. Highly recommended!

We had a German-speaking guide from Munich. The tour through St. Peter's Basilica in Rome was an experience right from the start, thank you again

The Basillica is simply stunning, and the climb up the steps to the top of the dome is a definite must. There are queues despite the "fast track" but they are managed pretty well. The organisation by headout was excellent, easy to locate meeting spot - and a "free" breakfast which was a nice surprise as it was very early in the morning.

The experience itself is transformative and interesting. But what makes it very good is that you have an accompanying staff that guides you quickly to the entrance and they are very helpful in the installation and configuration of the apps for the audio guide and super friendly, I really felt very well cared for by them. Besides, before starting, they give you a pear juice with a croissant.

I available of the Papal audience your which was a rather basic service that works really well for those looking for convenience. I was traveling along with my 74-yr old mother that had mobility challenges, hence the reason I booked this tour. While not particularly for seniors and reduced mobility, our your guide has been very helpful and friendly and made it possible for my mom to follow the rest of the group with no hassle. I'm very happy to meet my mom see the Pope even if I booked this only a day before our tour. Never hesitate to ask the guide any questions to make the most out of your experience!

I am very grateful because I did the reservation wrong and I was enrolled in an English group but they very kindly put me in the Spanish group without any problem. The guide was very nice and told us everything very well and I could tell she had experience. Congratulations!

The guide was really great, he knew the history of the basilica inside out and made it really fascinating. However, he didn't take us on a guided tour of the papal tombs. On the other hand, the organization was extremely complicated: we arrived 30 minutes early as requested (so you need to allow time for security checks before arriving at the meeting point), but at the ticket office we were asked to be patient for 20 minutes, and then we were assigned a guide. The principle was strange: we were expecting a group tour, and didn't really know where to turn. That's the only negative point.

Karen was really knowledgeable. She gave the tour in a very calm and organised way. Even though it was a group situation it felt quite personal. She helped us to think about the meaning and significance of the building as well as just being amazed by the sheer size of it! It was a great tour and we got so much out of it.
