Brilliant service & great value for money, as we really didn’t want to be standing queueing for hours in 35 degree heat. Juan was very attentive & walked us from the shop straight to St Peter’s whilst also providing some usual info about the Basillica and Rome in general. Another gentleman from the team also helped point us in the direction of Gyash Tours to start with. He was equally very helpful & would certainly recommend others to use yourselves.

It got us in to the Basilica but we were pulled aside and told that we paid more for them than we should have. They nearly didn’t let us enter, so ensure they take you all the way in.

Our tickets were picked up from a tour operator right next to Vatican city. We didn't plan ahead and only bought the tickets off Viator a week before arriving in Rome. It was a reasonable price that allowed me to not plan ahead. Once we had the tickets the tour operator walked us to the correct queue to skip the main queue and gave us a few facts on the way. They didn't try to up sell us anything and were very polite and pleasant to deal with. The Basilica is what it is so doesn't really need a review.
