This wasn't the first time I'd used the site; everything went smoothly as always. We had a problem with the reservation for the tour of the basilica and dome, but your customer service team resolved it promptly—they were impeccable... Until our next experience Thanks, Headout

The tour was awesome!! Thanks to the tickets we bought in advance, we were able to get into the basilica and take the elevator without waiting in line at all. It took us 3 hours instead of the whole day we had expected. Thank you so much

You should be more specific when buying tickets! You said mine included the dome and the basilica, but when I got there, it was just the basilica. That's all! Everything was really nice, and the staff who helped me were great.

The organization was very good. We were notified of the change in admission time via email and WhatsApp: +1:...we even spontaneously received a ticket for earlier admission at the meeting point....The wait time to enter the Basilica was only about 35 minutes. The rule that men must wear long pants or “knee-covering” clothing is a joke...regular Bermuda shorts are fine for men too...no one follows this rule, and no one was turned away either....my husband “followed the rule”.... ...at 37°C, it was almost unbearable ☹️....we’re just “too German”🤷🏼‍♂️

Security check points are so busy they forget about you and your questions. Other than that, I skipped the line to enter, which I had to figure out myself cause no one will help you unless you speak up. Services at the door is squeaky smooth. No one checked my ticket. I could have went inside for free. Wish there was more guidance at least at the gates to show you where to go.

Castel Sant'Angelo is definitely worth seeing. However, the audio guide isn't available everywhere. It doesn't work in some of the interior rooms. Too bad!

The problem was that we had a 1:00 p.m. admission time, but we weren't allowed in because security hadn't given permission. We waited until 2:00 p.m. To avoid being out in the sun, we went into a café. Then we had to get in line with the 2:00 p.m. group and didn’t get in until after 2:00 p.m. Meanwhile, people who hadn’t made a reservation or paid were allowed in.
