Karen was really knowledgeable. She gave the tour in a very calm and organised way. Even though it was a group situation it felt quite personal. She helped us to think about the meaning and significance of the building as well as just being amazed by the sheer size of it! It was a great tour and we got so much out of it.

The tour and the fact that you could move freely on your own 😁 What I personally found annoying were the dealers who always try to sell you something 😕

The tour was well organized, the conversations relaxed and entertaining. We learned a lot and broadened our horizons. We can highly recommend it. It aroused our curiosity to find out even more about the Vatican and the clergy.

The tour was too long anfd drawn out. Our guide was very know ledgeable and interesting but we waited forever to enter the Cathedral. The tombs tour was a waste. Too many people, couldn't see and we we just quickly walked by everything.

We have been extraordinarily lucky! To be able to say we! Among other things, I'm talking about our guide Valentina, who was exceptional, smiling, cheerful, full of knowledge and so much more ....... An experience to remember and to repeat. Françoise le Faucheur

Kelly was our guide and she was fantastic! The tour started on time and right away she was giving us great information about the Vatican. She was very knowledgeable and could answer most any questions that were asked. We also did "Climb the Dome" which took about an hour to get through the line but again Kelly had more information the whole time. We learned more from Kelly than we did on any other tours we had and would recommend this tour and especially Kelly as the guide for anyone

The actual tour was good but definitely a bit rushed. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and she helped those of us who were interested in the dome climb get tickets. However, the tour was a bit disorganized. A large group of us were at what was said to be the meet point on the tickets, but a guide never showed up. We called the tour company and they said they'd call us back with information, which they never did. The tour group thankfully walked by us and we were able to join then, but we all almost missed the tour because of this. Not sure exactly what went wrong there, but it was definitely stressful.

Our guide was very knowledgeable, however the audio radios we received were useless. They kept cutting out. We did not hear most of the tour properly.

It was not so easy to meet with the Tour Guide. Also was not meant that we should search for another company's logo at the backside of a building. So we had a little stress, but finally all went fine. Little bit more stories about the Bazilika are welcomed, but the guide was great.

The guides told us that we could leave the tour early at our desire and return our headsets to the tour guide or the tour office if we did. But then when people wandered from the group the guides started frantically calling everyone to ensure they were with the group, got angry if people returned after wandering, and took down our names as if we had done something wrong. It was very annoying and there is no requirement in St. Peter's Basilica to stay with a tour group at all times, so it felt like an overreaction.

Very well explained, easy to find, only the line should not be counted as part of the tour for better explanation of the basilica inside.

The guide was very knowledgeable and explained the intricacies of the Basilica very well. You need to go to their office though. It was great that they contacted us beforehand and sent their location on WhatsApp.
