Visiting St Peter’s with the downloadable audio guide was very convenient. You can take your time and enjoy the experience.
Very crowded on Palm Sunday, which we expected. Would have appreciated a heads up that the Vatican museum was closing at 12:30. Got to the museum 1:00 so no entry 😕
A wonderful audio guide to the Vatican and St. Peter's Basilica. It's a great way to pass the time waiting in line to enter the basilica (which is absolutely necessary, unfortunately). The many fascinating stories (sometimes Decameron-style :) ) will make your day unforgettable.
Thank you for sharing such a warm review! It’s wonderful to hear that TouringBee helped turn your visit into something truly special. We’d be happy to accompany you on your future journeys with our audio guides wherever your travels take you next!
Incredible experience with the audio guide at St. Peter's Basilica! I loved that the narration was clear, immersive, and full of fascinating facts that I wouldn't have noticed on my own. It was great how it mixed history, art, and interesting facts, and the pace was perfect: neither too fast nor too slow. It's like having a guide but at your own pace, repeating the facts as many times as you want. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience St. Peter's in a profound and memorable way!
We’re so glad you enjoyed discovering St. Peter’s Basilica with TouringBee! It’s wonderful to hear that the balance of history, art, and storytelling made your visit both enriching and memorable. We hope you’ll choose TouringBee audio guides again to explore other cities and landmarks on your future travels.
We tried an audio tour in St. Peter's Square without expecting anything special, but it was really interesting for us and it's not expensive at all! Once purchased, a link to the app will appear, where everything is already set up: a route, audio recordings and a map (which has proven very practical and understandable). But don't forget the headphones and make sure the phone is charged!!! I felt comfortable that I didn't have to go in a group - I don't like a lot. The Führer's voice was pleasant, he told many non-obvious facts. I am satisfied

The Vatican audio guide was incredibly helpful during my visit. The tour took me through the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter’s Basilica, explaining in detail the stories behind each work of art. I especially liked how I described the Sistine Chapel, allowing me to appreciate the small details in the frescoes by Michelangelo. He also gave advice on the best times to avoid crowds, which was very helpful. I recommend using it for those who want to learn more without being overwhelmed by so much information.
Unable to download. I was completely lost trying to follow your instructions. Finally I did it on my own. I discovered there is no need to pay to enter the basílica. People should be told just get in line and you will enter FREE.
We are sorry to hear about the confusion you experienced. Our audio guide is designed to provide historical insights and stories to enhance your visit, whether entry is free or not. We always strive to provide clear instructions, but if there’s anything specific we can improve, we’d love to hear your suggestions. Please feel free to reach out to us at support@touringbee.com.
