Basílica de São Pedro, Papal Tombs Tour, Dome opcional

It was great and our guide was so patient and engaging with our 10 year old who had lots of questions.

We booked this tour with Real Barcelona Tours for St. Peter's Basilica and its Dome. With our guide Laura we did skip the long line and went through security quite fast. The Basilica of St. Peter is amazing and we loved our storytelling guide that told us the secrets hidden in the art work. We saw the Pieta of Michelangelo and the Pope Tombs. We reserved tickets saving more than an hour line we went also up to the Dome and enjoyed a fantastic view of Rome, we felt like to be on top of the world! It is a must to go on top of the Dome if you go to visit St. Peter's Basilica. Do not miss the Dome climbing even if you climb over 300 steps!

Practical and fast solution for those like me who prefer to enjoy every single place alone without following groups!! Experience above expectations

We used Vivicos’ Fast Check-in Service for St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican and it was certainly the best decision we made. Comfort and time saved are worth every euro. Priority access that DOES work: Queues to enter St. Peter’s Basilica are legendary and can easily exceed 2-3 hours waiting in the sun. Thanks to Vivicos tickets, we accessed through a special channel and saved a tiring wait. We're in within minutes. It was an amazing feeling to walk past a queue of hundreds of people. Seamless process: The online booking on their website was very clear and simple. We received the tickets in the mail immediately, with a PDF that included all the instructions: map, meeting point and time. The staff of Vivicos in the area was waiting for us, was very friendly and indicated exactly which way to enter, dispelling any doubts. Libertad total: This is not a guided tour. It is the perfect entrance for the independent traveler. Once inside, we were able to explore the majestic basilica at our own pace: marvel at Michelangelo’s Piety, climb the dome for the best views of Rome and photograph Bernini’s Baldaquin without any hurry. Professionalism: The whole process was extremely professional. There were no surprises or problems. They delivered exactly as promised: fast and effective entry.

We paid for a guided tour with access to the dome on Sunday June 8. We left their office as a group of 33 and walked the short distance to St. Peter’s Square for our guided tour. What we missed in the small print was that this did not give us fast track access. We stood in line with hundreds (no kidding) of other people who were all pushing and shoving to get closer to the head of the very very very long line. We were crowded together like cattle and it was extremely hot that day. After almost 2 hours (yes I said 2 HOURS!) we finally made it through the security checkpoint to join the others in our group who had been separated by the rude shoving crowd of tourists. We started out with 33 people. Only 10 remained in our group to actually start the tour. The other 23 gave up and left. Once we got in the guide was good and informative. We would have never have signed up for this if we wouldn’t have had quick access. Every other tour we had in Italy had fast track entry. We were so incredibly disappointed in the experience that I’m not sure I would book with this company again.
