We had a great experience visiting for the first time the great Basilica St Peter. We had an amazing guide, her name is Alexandra from Best Tour and we recommend her 100%. She managed to give life to everything by telling stories and facts about the whole Basilica. We can not imagine this experience without a guide like her.

Visit of February 4, 2025: I'd like to take the time to write this review because the visit I had to St. Peter's Basilica in the "Vatican" and (not Rome ^^) was one of my favorites that I've done all-Time. Indeed, a big big up to the guide I'll always remember, Federico, who was incredible, making the experience immersive and unique for me and my 2 other friends, who aren't much into guided tours and aren't too interested in history. I imagine the impression was the same for the other people who had taken part in the tour. We had selected a tour in French, and Federico frankly blew us away with his level of French, which I find charming and captivating. This tour was unique, and he made us feel privileged in that he gave us funny but important anecdotes that all the other guides didn't have at all, given that he had worked for a long time as a guide at the basilica. Funny, cultured and amusing, there's no shortage of superlatives to describe this guide, who impressed me: as a guide myself at the Louvre, Orsay, Château de Versailles and other monuments in Paris, I was so proud and happy to attend his visit, since his acting and information alone enhance and elevate our profession as guides. What's more, thanks to his contacts and friendliness with his colleagues at the Basilica, he got us to the places we wanted to visit much more quickly, and avoided us waiting in line in many places: at the security checkpoint, then access to the church and many other places besides. He told us at the start of the tour that he didn't consider himself to be the best guide to the Vatican and Rome, but I'm not afraid to say that there aren't any better than him at the moment, and even in France he'd outrank quite a few. There are a lot of photos, but here are just a few of those taken during our visit, and of Federico, who was a wonderful guide. Thank you to the agency for giving us this guide. If I come to Rome again, I won't hesitate to book with you, you made our Vatican day unforgettable. Benito
