The views halfway up and ontop of the Castell are breathtaking. They are worth the price of the ticket alone. You also get to know the history of the place too.

We had an excellent experience with our guide, Giuseppe , at the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. The interaction was very pleasant, and the information provided was rich, well-structured, and delivered in an engaging and enjoyable way. It was clear that the guide is passionate about history and eager to share many interesting details. In addition, the flawless English pronunciation made the entire tour easy to follow and highly professional. We highly recommend it! Erica&Elena

We chose a guided tour of St. Peter's Basilica, followed by access to the dome. We had no trouble finding the meeting point on Piazza del Risorgimento. There were seven of us with our guide. The audio system worked very well throughout the tour of the Basilica. This reservation does not allow you to avoid the queue: it took us 50 minutes to get through the security gates. But our guide was very resourceful during this wait and never ran out of interesting topics to share with us. The tour began with the Vatican Grottoes and St. Peter's tomb. Then the breathtaking architecture and magnificent works of art in the church (especially the beautiful mosaics) left us speechless. At the same time, we felt peaceful in this grandiose setting. Our guide took the time to explain the history of several works. We visited the dome on our own. Despite the elevator, climbing the remaining 320 steps to reach the top is quite a workout! But it was worth it! On our way back from the dome, we were able to see the beginning of a wedding ceremony in the chapel reserved for this purpose, as our guide had explained to us a few moments earlier. A very nice tour! I recommend it.
