ローマ：サン ピエトロ大聖堂、ドームに登る、地下ツアー

I struggled with this event. I assumed we had timed entry tickets similar to every other tour we did. We had to wait in the free line which was very hot and she kept talking about the lines and wait times while we watched others sail thru the “tickets” section of entry to the basilica.. Our tour guide was sweet and kind but very difficult to understand as she had a very thick Eastern European (Russian?) accent and spoke very fast. She also had her microphone on her label for a large part of the time so it made it even more difficult to hear and follow along.

Great experience in Rome! I have been to St. Peter’s several times before but never got tickets for the crypts or dome before so decided to book this and try. Our guide Olga did a good job and the activity matched the description exactly. It’s June in Rome so yes it was quite hot and crowded but that is to be expected. In my opinion not very “Catholic” despite taking place in the heart of the Catholic Church but an overall great experience. The climb was intensive but afforded an amazing view of St. Peter’s square and the city of Rome!

It was supposed to be a skip the tour. An hour and 20 minutes standing in in 95 degree direct sun exposose sea of humanity later we made it to the metal detectors drenched in perspiration. Did the climb the dome and skipped the rest.

The tour was exceptional. The guide we had, Claudeo (sp) was knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the pace of the tour and the information was well researched.

We had a great tour with Volodomir, learning so much about St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, and the magnificent works of art inside. We were able to see the Pieta sculpture, the tomb of St. Pope JPII as well as St. Peter! Absolutely stunning. Bring sun protection (hat/umbrella/scarf) and water. Due to ever changing rules at the Vatican, we had to wait outside for ~45 min in the sun to get to the dome climb. Several in our tour group opted to leave rather than wait in the line. Our family managed the climb for wonderful views of the inside of the church as well as magnificent views of Vatican City and Rome from the top. As that was the end of the tour, we were then able to wander the church at our leisure and attend Mass.

You need to ask for Federico, my husband and I agreed he was one of the best tour guides. He provided so much detail that AI or a recording could never given. He was so professional and enthusiastic. You can tell he really loves Vatican City he is so passionate about the area and knowledgeable about the history. We toured St. Peter's Basilica St. Peter's Basilica is one of the holiest sites in Christianity. It is traditionally believed to be built on the burial site of Saint Peter, one of the twelve 40 minutes. The Vatican Grottoes, located beneath St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, are a sacred and historically significant underground complex for 20 minutes. St. Peter's Dome, also known as the Cupola of St. Peter's Basilica, is an iconic architectural masterpiece located in Vatican City.

Our guide walked us through the relevance of many works of art in the basilica coupled with church history. Olga described what the dome climb involved before wrapping up her time with our group. Would highly recommend this tour if interested in combining art, history, and a bit of adventure.

Sophia was outstanding. So energetic and excited about showing so many details and wow, she is great about getting into places quick and efficiently. Highly recommended

Great tour guide! Very knowledgeable and made the experience at St Peter’s Basilica and the Dome climb a good one!

Very informative A very friendly guide who has an answer for everything. Unfortunately, I can no longer remember his name. Thank you
