Anna did a fantastic job of sharing the highlights of St. Peter's Basilica in a fun way. She engaged everyone in our group including younger kids. She remembered where we were all from and made connections our different backgrounds! Even advocated for us on our behalf when we were waiting in the hot sun for the dome climb. Loved it!
I love how our tour guide was very passionate about the history of Catholicism. He was very friendly and worked well with accommodations needed across the group.
The tour was amazing. Karen was my guide and her knowledge, time management, and personality (humor, kindness, flexibility) added to the already incredible experience. I originally selected the tour without the dome experience but Karen was able to adjust and assist us in getting the dome experience. I highly recommend this tour and I hope you have the same experience and your guide as me. This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and found the admission fee reasonable. Also, this package will allow you to skip the lines which can grow extremely long and crowded. The tour was approximately 2.5 hours, so plenty to see. We also had a smaller group and experienced smaller crowds (possibly because of the off-season: winter), so that made our experience better.
We have had a fantastic experience. Despite large crowds and sometimes some impatient people, our young guide (Karen) remained friendly, funny and very enthusiastic. Besides that, she had a lot of knowledge, spoke several languages and also provided 1st aid. Highly recommended.
