    Misadvertised. This tour...
    Olivia_Q, July 2023
    Misadvertised. This tour was not skip-the-line. We waited in the regular line with all other visitors. In the morning, it was hard to figure out who our guide was. Guide seemed inexperienced and was not engaging.

    Good Climb, tour guide not essential
    Nick_D, Oct 2022
    The dome climb is excellent, but the tour guide is not really needed. He was knowledgeable and nice, but if you know the basic history of the Vatican and St Peter’s Basilica, it adds minimal extra value.
    Response from Host, Oct 2022
    Hello Nick, Thank you very much for your feedback on this tour. We hope that this guided tour could be a great experience and learning opportunity for a person that does not know much about the Vatican and the St. Peter's Basilica, or to clients that would like to know more about these locations along with a local professional guides company.
