The tickets worked out perfectly. It was great that we didn't have to wait in line. We didn't really need the audio guide, but unfortunately we couldn't change that. And the audio guide is a bit of a hassle because it drains the phone's battery really fast.

We had a fantastic guided tour of St. Peter’s Basilica today. Even while we were waiting in line, we learned so much interesting information that the wait seemed to fly by. There is so much to see inside the basilica that it’s almost impossible to take it all in without a guide. We would book this tour again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it.

Just a short train ride from Rome's Termini station, Castel Gondolfo & the quaint village surrounding it is worth the time. The Castel is filled with history and expertly presented. The grounds are spectacular. Several lovely shops, artisans & restaurants available to round out you time there.

The dome tour is an absolute must for anyone visiting the Vatican or St. Peter's Basilica. The meeting point was easy to find, and our tour guide was very friendly and helpful. Everything went smoothly. We'll definitely book through Headout again. Highly recommended!

I was very satisfied with the tour. It was very easy to find, the guide was very friendly, and she provided clear explanations and insightful commentary. She even took a photo of us, which was really nice.
