Millions love heading out with us

Julie

5/5

We had a fabulous guide who was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. We were informed in good time regarding a change in start time as the original guide was not available. Meeting point was easy to find and just a short walk from the entrance to the Vatican museum. The most expensive tour we booked but definitely worth the money to get the most out of the visit.

The experience itself was good, but the guide did not speak Spanish clearly, a lot of mixture between Italian and Spanish which made it difficult for us to understand, but we still managed to understand something.

The dome was amazing of course. I thought we would "skip the line" but we still had to wait in line at security and wait in line before going up the steps. It was October and there were a lot of people. I was hoping to have a more express entry.

The Basillica is simply stunning, and the climb up the steps to the top of the dome is a definite must. There are queues despite the "fast track" but they are managed pretty well. The organisation by headout was excellent, easy to locate meeting spot - and a "free" breakfast which was a nice surprise as it was very early in the morning.

Our guide Lia was really great. Full of enthusiasm, she took us as her "family" throughout the morning. Standing so early in St. Peter's Square is a wonderful experience. We really enjoyed the tour and all the wonderful stories.
