Very nice servis and the guide was friendly
The QR code didn’t work for the audio guide and we tried on different phones so we couldn’t listen to any guide. The queue was actually longer for the skip the queues than the actual free queue. It ended up feeling like a scam. The security guard even agreed.
Dear Megan, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We would like to clarify that we provided you with the fast-track entry ticket, including access to the audio guide in your preferred language. Unfortunately, it appeared that there was an issue with your mobile network connection at the time. To assist, we tested the audio guide on your friend's phone, where it was functioning correctly. Regarding the queue at the church, while there was a waiting line on that particular day, it was significantly shorter than the standard public queue, which can often exceed two hours during peak periods. We appreciate your comments and are always striving to improve our guests' experiences. Thank you for choosing our services, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future.
I would like to Thanks all the people of ITALY PASS for their wonderful service, fast track ticket and audio guide . Specially Joseph ,ashik ,yomna🙏
St. Peter’s with audio tour was fantastic! Audio tour covers all major areas and relics. Would have been a 5 star rating but what is sent to you is a voucher, not an entry ticket. Finding the ticket office meeting point was added stress to a busy morning. Once we figured out we only had voucher but needed QR code tickets and found the meeting point /ticket office, the workers at the office could not have been more helpful. Compliant is to stress the need for a QR coded ticket and where/ how to get it.
Thank you for your review! We are thrilled you loved the audio tour and that our staff was so helpful. We appreciate your feedback regarding the entry process. Because St. Peter's Basilica requires official timed entry, standard booking vouchers must be exchanged for the actual QR-coded tickets at our office first. We apologize for the morning stress this caused, and we are updating our instructions to make this distinction and the meeting point location much clearer for future guests. Thank you for helping us improve, and we hope to see you again!
Maria gave a very good tour. She was able to explain everything very well in German.
