Buying guided tour for ST.Peters Basilica was my ever best experience. Our guide, Brigita, was the highlight of the tour. She was very passionate, her story telling about Vaticano and Basilica was so passionate and so detailed. I enjoyed her passion, story and dedication. The place is amazing, but with such a Great guide and her knowledge was best experience ever. On top od that, she was very funny and humble. Hope everyone else will have opportunity to experience magnificient Vaticano with Brigita. Thank you!

I loved being able to be in the papal audience but all the agency does is accompany you to the entrance, when in the Vatican they DO NOT CHARGE. The entrance is to arrive early and line up to enter, if you talk about some history of the Vatican but in the end what you want is to get there and enter.
