Basilica di San Pietro con salita alla cupola e tour delle cripte per piccoli gruppi

We booked our week long trip to Rome about 4 weeks before our plane took off. I did my homework and prepared a loose itinerary. There’s so much to see and do and, we didn’t want to miss out by not booking a tour in advance or going with the wrong company. Tons of helpful advice out there - on this site and others that led me to Through Eternity tours and I’m happy to report I made the right choice. Thank you all who posted your reviews ;) We chose TE because they had the exact tour we wanted - Basilica with the Dome climb, early morning to avoid crowds (even tho this was December, it was the shoulder week to the start of Jubilee 2025). Claudia met us outside at 7am. She is a Roman herself and joyfully shared her wealth of knowledge about this historic influential breathtakingly beautiful site. The tour guides complete a 4 year education and then must pass a licensing test. They are lovers of art and history. Claudia made this 3 hour tour a highlight for these two American tourists and we are so grateful. For the Dome climb, we took the optional elevator up part way. Claudia let us take a break at the restrooms and then allowed us 40 min to complete the climb and return to her. Plenty of time to move at our own pace! There is so much to take in I highly recommend you do book this guided tour. There are other things in the city you can explore on your own and save the money.

This tour is fantastic. Our guide, Guia, was very experienced, knowledgeable and lots of fun to be with. The tour was absolutely worth the cost. We will take many more tours with this company. Highly recommend.

This review is for the St Marks Basilica twilight tour with “Gina”. Excellent experience, especially later in the day. Gina was informative, and engaging. It was the perfect amount of information from an experienced guide.

Gentleman guide was lovely and the tour would have been just fine had we been provided with headphones. The company failed to deliver headphones to our group. The vastness of St Peter’s causes voices to be lost. We were a small group of only 6 people; me and my husband plus 4 other guests. Yet, nobody was able to hear much of what was said. To my dismay we were not given any compensation for the poor service. Disappointed in Through Eternity and would probably not book with them again.

Enjoyable tour with a very engaging guide. Lots of insights In St Peter’s Basilica. She readily adjusted the itinerary to meet our needs.

Through Eternity should never have offered a tour on this day - there was a special event and both the crypt and many parts of St Peter's were closed. It was very hard to find the guide as they gave very unclear instructions and half the people in our group were lost in late. The guide did not have a sign as other companies do. Our guide did not do the dome climb so at the top of the dome when you want your guide to show you and talk about all the buildings around Rome the guide wasn't there. I listened to other guides which was great. The tourist billed as 3 hours and we got it most one of the guide's time. We were later getting in line because so many people in the tour were late. We got up early to do the skip the line tour and it didn't seem like it was any better than it was later in the day. Disappointing.
