It was bad the place is restricted, we couldn't see all the points. Many queues, I do not recommend the tour
Boa tarde, Obrigado por dedicar seu tempo para compartilhar seu feedback. Lamentamos muito pelo inconveniente que você enfrentou. Infelizmente, os tempos de espera podem chegar a 150 minutos, e os controles de segurança são obrigatórios para todos que desejam acessar a Cidade do Vaticano. Isso não depende de nós, mas sim da Polícia. Agradecemos sinceramente seu feedback e revisaremos a clareza das nossas instruções para garantir uma experiência melhor para os futuros viajantes. Atenciosamente, VoxCity
Never got a chance to use the audio guide. It was very busy. We didn’t see any signs on how to listen to the audio guide.

Sucked. Waited on two different lines. The guards did not recognize or honor the tickets. There was no assistance online or via the website.

We are sorry if you had difficulty finding our meeting point, we always provide complete directions on the voucher and we also have a customer service contact.

We bought audio guide tickets for December 31, 2025... we thought we would queue up and be able to enter the Basilica as planned but of course they give us tickets for a day when the basilica was CHİUSA. Unreliable site not recognized by the STAFF that manages revenue.
Buongiorno, grazie per averci lasciato questo feedback, lo riteniamo importante. Il servizio prenotato con noi riguarda esclusivamente l'audioguida con le mappe digitali, per la Basilica di San Pietro non è previsto nessun biglietto d'accesso in quanto completamente gratuita. Inoltre, le comunicazioni tra la Basilica di San Pietro e l'esterno, vengono comunicate solo all'ultimo momento per ragioni di sicurezza che, purtroppo, non dipendono da noi. Ci scusiamo nuovamente per il disagio. Cordiali saluti, VoxCity
This felt like a scam. We bought it on our way. It never said that we needed to download an app (over 100 MB). We did not want to do that so it was money lost. I bought three tickets. I tried to complain to viator but got no reply. The entrance to st peters is free and you can rent a hearing guide there.
Good morning, thank you for your feedback. It is important to us so that we can always improve. We’re sorry if the audio guide did not meet your expectations, but the product description clearly states that it is a digital audio guide to be installed on your own device. Additionally, the package does not include an entrance ticket, as St. Peter’s Basilica is always free to enter. We remain at your disposal for any clarification, please don’t hesitate to contact us at the following email address: customer@voxcity.com Best regards, VoxCity
You don't a ticket to visit St Peter's Basilica and Papal Tombs! You can go there and visit it for free!
Good morning, thank you first of all for leaving us your valuable feedback. The St. Peter’s Basilica complex is free to enter; the only paid area is the Dome. You paid for our digital audio guide service, which includes content about the Basilica, the panoramic view from the Dome, the Papal Tombs, and an introduction to Vatican City. We are sorry if this did not meet your expectations and we sincerely apologize. We will work on making the instructions and the descriptions of our packages clearer in the future. Best regards, VoxCity
Kasia was very knowledgeable and friendly. We really enjoyed learning so much and exploring hidden gems we wouldn't have otherwise visited. Thanks for a great evening Kasia.
Good morning, Thank you for leaving us this very important feedback. We are enthusiastic and happy that you enjoyed our service. We hope to have another opportunity to see you again! Best regards, VoxCity
Do not buy this ticket and expect St Peter’s to honor it. It doesn’t work The site only recognizes the on-line tickets it sells

Do not waste the money if you hope for quicker entry with this purchase, you queue with the free access crowd still. There is no fast line for this ticket.
Good morning, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced. The security checks are mandatory for everyone to enter Vatican City. This does not depend on us, but on the Police. During high season, there might be some waiting time for security checks, especially this year, which is the Jubilee year. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and will review the clarity of our instructions to help ensure a better experience for future travelers. We always try to do our best to ensure good experiences. Many thanks, VoxCity
It was unclear what this tour was for. The Basicalla it self was free of charge and no ticket was needed.
