This was an amazing experience, made all the better by our guide who was extremely funny and Knowledgeable about everything we saw around us. Chiara was the name of our guide, and I honestly think that this tour would not have been as fun without her. She interacted with everyone in the tour, made us all laugh, remembered all our names, and got us infront of another group of 100 people so that we could see St Peters witout interruption. Me and my partner had a great time. 5 Stars!!!!

Going up the dome of St Peter's must not be missed. One of the best ways to view the whole of Rome. Would advise not going in peak season. There were just too many people the whole time. It was also a bit pressured for time to squeeze everything in. Our guide - Ella was brilliant.

This was one of our favorite excursions. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable. And he navigated us expertly through the throngs of people. He got us into the best viewing positions throughout the tour. I highly recommend THE TOUR GUY!

Explore St Peter’s Basilica

Join your guide at St. Peter’s Square and begin the ascent to the St Peter’s Basilica’s terrace. The architecture of the Basilica is of a unique Barocco style, and it houses many important cultural artifacts, such as various striking mosaics and Michelangelo's Pieta, all of which you can see for yourself. The top of Michelangelo’s Cupola is an ideal spot to see many of Rome’s most famous monuments. This will be followed by an exhaustive tour of St Peter’s Basilica and its fantastic Papal Sarcophagi, where you will get a chance to marvel at the Renaissance masterpieces of Bernini and Michelangelo!

VIP Tour of Vatican Museum

Walk through the Vatican with VIP access and visit its many museums with fast-track entry. Benefit from the expertise of an English-speaking guide who will enhance your experience with in-depth knowledge

Later, skip the long lines and allow your guide to take you to the Sistine Chapel nestled in the Apostolic Palace, the official home of the Pope himself. Gaze at the legendary ceiling of the chapel and The Last Judgement that were painted by Michelangelo himself.
