Very thorough explanations, lots of time to walk around, and the guide was available to answer any questions from the group. I initially wanted to book a tour from the official website but it was sold out (I did get it for the Vatican Museums so I have a reference point) and I was a bit skeptical about this one, but totally recommend!

It was a very positive experience. Our guide Edoardo De Biasi was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information without being heavy but on the contrary made us spend two hours immersed in art and history with nice anecdotes. We recommend this experience Barbara Marco Greta and Filippo from Vicenza

Maria provided the best tour that I have experienced in my life. We are returning in July for the jubilee and if we could get her again, I will do the same tour once again with additional members of my family. We'll done to everyone and wish you the best.

Claudio made the experience unforgettable and had an amazing depth of knowledge about St Peter's Square, the Basilica and crypt. Not only did he present knowledge on the religious meaning behind the history of the church and its mosaic artwork, but he also provided the artistic perspective. We did the tour early and made it to the top of the dome before the crowds and just after sunrise, which made it more special. We highly recommend this tour!

It was very entertaining. We learned a lot of new information, even though we've been to St. Peter's Basilica many times before and know a lot about art history. This was mainly due to the unconventional and lively manner of our guide Michaela. Thank you very much, we enjoyed it so much that we booked another tour with your agency for Tuesday, this time to the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Palatine Hill. We are already very excited.

The tour to the St. Peter's Basilica and the dome was marvellous and spectacular. It was the highlight of our visit in Rome. Our guide, Eduardo, was highly knowledgeable, informative, but most importantly funny. He was engaging and talking to us all the time, making the tour even more interesting. During our visit, we saw the tombs of various popes, the Basilica and its main works like the Pietà or the mosaics and sculptures found there and after that we went to climb the dome (which was in fact a bit tiring) and enjoyed the breathtaking view of Vatican and Rome. I wolud recommend this experience to everyone who wants a nice tour of the Basilica.

The French guide Valerio made the visit very good. A very cultured person and very knowledgeable about the history and other questions about the basilica. My sincere congratulations for his work. NOTE: My wife could not go up to the dome for health reasons. The guide did not buy the ticket (10€), please inform me how to recover the money paid to go up to the dome. Thank you very much and have a nice day. Antonio-Jesús Escudero Blanco

Our guide, Michaela (Michele) was awesome. Historically so knowledgeable, good personality! Check in was weird.....discrepancies about when to arrive & the staff did not appreciate early birds. Check in needs improvement. Fortunately our guide made up for all that. We highly recommend our guide

Anna, our guide was so incredibly great. All four of us were in Rome for the first time and her enthusiasm, her friendliness and her emotional descriptions reached us, touched us and made us enthusiastic about St. Peter's Basilica, Rome and Anna. This 19-year-old art student is on fire for the cause and is simply great. All the highest possible scores from Susi, Rita, Anette and Elke

Great visit to St Peter's & the dome climb was awesome. Guide was very informative & did a good job, only let down was some parts of the church inside covered up for restoration & Saint Pope John Paul ll tomb covered by curtains.
