The explanation was very clear from the guide, always waiting for me because I was late and climbing the dome was an extraordinary experience.

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!

We had the guided tour with Valerio. It was great. He put a lot of effort in telling us everything about the history of the Peters Dome and Vatican City and he was able to answer all of our questions. We climed the dome and the view was fantastic. Everything was organised very well.John

Anna was amazing ! So knowledgable, humourous and so kind to everyone in the tour group! She was very patient and also waited for us all the way until we got to the elevator to get up the elevator to the dome! Highly recommended and be sure to ask for Anna if she's available to do the tour with you 🙏 Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴
