St Peter’s

Amazing experience, so much to do and see. Entrance was easy once you found it and we got to skip so many lines and crowds having pre- booked tickets. Absolutely worth purchasing prior.

Beware of this tour Scam

I selected this tour with the “dome” option. The title says Basilica and Dome. Yet the booking receipt said Basilica Only. This was not discovered until day before. I asked tour operator where my dome tickets were she said I selected Basilica Only (which I purposely did not). Either way it is very misleading to title the tour “Basilica and Dome” and then give “Basilica Only” tickets. You can go to the Basilica for FREE. This is a scam.

The description in the title of the tour was deceptive and the organization of the whole thing was extremely poor. The meeting location link was wrong, which of course, was very confusing and stressful.

I expect a refund for a proportional amount.

Regarding the entry, it was very smooth; however, I paid for entry to the basilica and dome with your service, and when I wanted to access the dome, it was not included in the code provided to me, so I had to pay an extra fee.

Rome

Have booked with your company for 3 holidays , this so far is my only bad experience, due to the fact the company you use in Rome never sent through out tickets for the Dome and St Peter’s Basilica having visited the office and texting them , had to miss the time slot and repurchase the tickets myself, had booked many times before with no issues, little disappointed, hoping it will be the only time.

Scam - very disappointing

Absolute scam, tickets were not sent as promised on email or what’s app. They were pictures and therefore we were not able to go in. No refund and currently still in discussions. Extremely poor experience.

The communication with the provider was okay; the QR code for entry to St. Peter's Basilica worked. The specified contact address (meeting point) has not existed for 2 years.

The audio guide link did not work. The support hotline was indeed helpful but not reachable by phone on-site. It's a pity we had imagined it differently.
