This beautiful basilica is truly worth visiting! More than just a visit, it is an inner experience that allows you to truly feel the spirituality of the place. However, we had to work hard to visit it! We had booked tickets online with reserved access for 10:30 a.m., but when we arrived, there were lots of people there. When I pointed out to the staff that I had reserved access tickets, they replied that they were not valid because they had combined the queues, so everyone had to wait regardless of whether they had paid more for reserved access! Fortunately, we went to the office where we had picked up the tickets and they were very kind: they changed the day and time for us and in the end we were able to visit the Basilica.

Admission to St. Peter's Basilica is free, but the queue is endless. On site, "Skip the Line" tickets were offered for €25 each (including children). I googled and found Headout – I paid €42 for myself and my two children (instead of €75). Or rather, €0. The lady was a little hard to find—she was wearing a red jacket but with a different logo. The meeting point for picking up the online tickets (a slight contradiction) was a 5-minute walk away. We had to wait a short while, but in the meantime we were given a very nice, detailed explanation of the queue, etc., and had a short chat. Access (another 5-minute walk back to St. Peter's Square) took less than 15 minutes, including security checks.

We arrived at St. Peter’s Square for the 2:30 p.m. tour, and even though the line for security seemed endless, it moved quickly: we were inside in about 40 minutes. I highly recommend starting with the Dome right away. We paid €10 for the elevator (a wise choice!), but be warned that the last 300 steps are narrow and steep: it’s a struggle, but the view of Rome leaves you speechless—it’s worth every penny! Once you come down from the dome, you enter the Basilica directly: it’s immense, a real shock in terms of how beautiful and well-maintained it is. We finished the tour by going down into the Crypts to see the tombs of the Popes. A complete and very evocative experience that takes up your entire afternoon.

As we were standing in line listening to the Guide my fiancee (who i had JUST asked to marry me IN the Sistine Chapel the previous Sunday before) turned to me and exclaimed as to how much she liked the information provided and in general HOW he did it and how "cute" this older gentleman was :) we LOVED the dome climb and using the elevator was the best call EVER!! OF COURSE the Basilica was STUPENDOUS (brought me to tears at one point) and the audio tour for it was helpful and informative. I will definitely be recommending you to friends that are visiting soon! Thank you and keep up the good work! Tom and Belinda

I assumed it was the original website of the basilica, it was very time consuming, telling you to go and meet one person at a certain destination, noone there, calling them, and getting cut off. Then telling you, you dont have to meet anyone. Rome is hard going with lots of walking, we were sent to four different places, just to be told, after a second phone call , it was actually, at the first place we were at originally. Very stressfull and unnecessary. Once inside, it is stunning and beautiful

Centraal punt om te verzamelen voor vertrek naar de entree. Lopend met de groep naar de ingang. Aangesloten in de rij. De toegang werd door Headout verzorgd. Iedereen moest afzonderlijk de tas door de veiligheidscontrole halen, waardoor de groep op elkaar moet wachten. Je wordt begeleid naar de plek waar je alleen verder kunt, in ons geval de lift naar de koepel. Voor ons totaal geen meerwaarde deze tickets. Wij hebben blijkbaar niet goed gekeken bij het boeken. Niet voor herhaling vatbaaar.

Whilst it wasn't made clear initially that although we had been given details of the meeting point, we were actually able to just make our own way to the 'skip the queue' line. The audio was sent to us to download on the morning of the visit (could have been done earlier as we were getting concerned that we hadn't received it). Once there we had a clear passage to the basilica which helped enormously time wise.

It was all wonderful. You have to look for the people in yellow vests. We went through the entrance on the right side of St. Peter's Square. We showed our tickets to the lady, and she kindly led us to the line. The wait was definitely at least 45 minutes. Our appointment was at 12:00, so it's better to go earlier. The best part was up in the dome.

Actually, our admission tickets hadn't arrived yet, but with just a quick phone call, the lady sorted it out for us, and we were able to get in after waiting a little while... considering it was Saturday afternoon! I recommend going first thing in the morning—there wasn't a line at all 😱

It was a wonderful, incredible experience; despite the large crowd, the entry process was surprisingly smooth. In contrast, those who didn't make a reservation had to wait in much longer lines—sometimes for over two hours.
