St. Peter's Basilica is one of the biggest and oldest church in the world. Michelangelo's great creation La Pieta is here. The tomb of St. Jhon Paul II is close to the La Pieta. Also the Holy door, St. Peter's Bronze Statue, Holy water and the dome are mind blowing.

Our tour & guide gave us the best highlights of what would have been an overwhelming day seeing The Vatican, Sistine Chapel and St Peter’s. Guide was patient & professional and kept us all engaged!
Thank you very much.
We enjoyed the tour, but probably felt very rushed due to large crowds. Not an easy tour to cover with various timelines involved. Lots of waiting time which could have been used to explain history
Vatican Museums are very busy in the summer time. We always try our best for the travellers. Thanks for your review.
I learned a whole lot more from Theresa my tour guide than I ever did in Sunday school Very historical and beautiful but a lot of walking
We are happy for your experience.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and patient with everyone. Took time for questions and so forth. He was awesome.
Thank you so much. We are very happy for your nice experience.
This “tour” is very short, and is definitely not worth the price. Just buy tickets and see it yourself.
This tour's duration is 2 to 2 and half hours. But you have an opportunity to stay longer without guide.
Roberto our tour guide was great thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Very informative and had a great time. Thanks
Thank you so much.
Too many people in the group. Guide spent to Much talking and less walking especially in the heat. Could not understand him
Our group size is not more than 15 people. Our guide should explain about the Sistine Chapel in advance as it is a holy place and silent zone. Perhaps you didn't like this explanation.
