Reviews
i’ve been to Rome 3x but this is the first time I booked a guided tour at the Basilica in Vatican. Our guide Silvia is charming and very professional. She shared a lot of information to the group. Kudos to Silvia of touriks. Its also my 1st time to go all the way up to the dome of the basilica. Whew it felt torture on my knees 320 steps n narrow. I thought i cant make it but its I felt happy after I reached d top. Im not as young n energetic like other tourists. I’m glad I did climbed the dome as I think that will be my first and last. I also attended the 5pm mass in latin inside d basilica. You will have a lot of nice photos to take inside the basilica so make sure your phone is fully charged.
It was a highly informative, educational and solemn tour. Thr tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and provided insightful information throughout. These memories and experiences will be treasured for a lifetime. ♥️
There was a long queue due to the Jubilee and church was opened only in the afternoon, so be prepared. Despite that, we enjoyed the tour because of Silvia. She is by far the most knowledgeable and informative guide I ever encountered. She knows a lot about the history of the place giving us some very detailed history of the Basilica and the popes. It’s like we were listening to an audiobook full of rich history. We appreciate her very positive personality as well. Thank you
We arrived in the morning and attended the Pope's Mass. Afterwards, security asked us to move forward with the crowd, so we couldn't meet our guide at the meeting point and missed the guided tour. The agency still called us to find out where we were and pick up the group along the way, but we had already done the visits on our own. The places are impressively beautiful.
best of St Peter can see many pope and the church. is like heave. to see I feel I’m in heave. are you when you are inside
We absolutely enjoyed the tour. Francesca (I think is our guide’s name) was absolutely fabulous. We give her 5 🌟
It wasn't exactly fast track, but compared to the Vatican Museums, this wasn't something you couldn't wait for at all! The line seemed to be moving faster than I thought. The guide was also very detailed and kind in explaining things, which was great. Personally, I skipped going up to the dome on the upper floor due to time constraints, but it was still a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
St. Peter's Basilica and St. Peter's Square in Rome are both well worth visiting. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained everything clearly. The queue moved quite quickly, so the package deal is definitely worth purchasing.
Amazing experience for me and my family. credit to Silvia the guide who was funny and very interesting to learn from.
the guide is very knowledgeable at the same time very entertaining, really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about the history of the church..
