Engaging and extraordinarily immersive experience, not only architectural beauty but also history illustration
A wonderful experience discovering art that, after centuries, remains alive and moving today more than ever. The service we received was fabulous, an experience we absolutely must repeat.
Excellent visit, guide a 10 I recommend this visit
Do not miss out on this private guided tour experience! Especially if you are a first-time visitor to the Vatican. The cost was not very expensive for a small group of people and learning about everything inside Saint Peter's Basilica. It was my second time visiting but I'm really glad we took this tour because our guide shared a lot more history than I thought. Our guide also made it clear that we were also able to stay inside Saint Peter's Basilica after the tour concluded where you will have the chance to purchase tickets to walk or take the elevator into the dome, for a small fee. Highly recommend this tour and hope to seek out their other tours when I come back to visit again!
Our visit to St. Peter’s was truly unforgettable. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm and engaging, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The specialized entry to the basilica was a fantastic touch that allowed us to make the most of our time. Sandra did an excellent job coordinating everything and kept us well-informed throughout the process, making it seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend this tour and service to anyone looking for a memorable and well-organized experience.
This was the one experience that caught my eye as being really exceptional. We arrived early at the site where we were to pick up tickets. We waited over an hour. We then moved to the area where the tour was to begin. Again, we waited over an hour. We tried calling with no response. Eventually we gave up and left. I emailed the company and they stated that "the tour guide had a problem." Now, they are refusing to give us a refund. They stated "they called us several times." This was well after the excursions time and date. In addition, we are in Rome. Communication needed to be by text or email. I have emailed them several times and they stated that they will not provide this refund. Viator, please step up and solve this issue for us. It is clear the fault is the company's.
We tried to contact you several times and you never answer us!!! We are a serious company and tried to accommodate you but you never show up and also asked for a refund!! Unbelievable!!
Incredible tour with such an amazing guide! I forget her name but she was Argentinian. She was so knowledgable and interactive and kind. She really made the tour so special for us! Thank you!
Our tour guide was so helpful, knowledgeable & informing. Even took the time to take brilliant photos of us. Would recommend
The tour was fantastic. Our tour guide Sandra was very personable. She showed us the most important monuments in the basilica and illustrated the history of the building and the major works of art, including the Pieta. She also showed us the tombs of the Popes and gave us some time to pray in front of Saint Peter’s grave.. After the visit she explained to us how to cross the Holy Door. Definitely recommend it!
The tpur was amazing!! We saw the most important church in the world with the best guide, Luciana. She was so knowledgeable and so funny too. I recommend this company!!!
