Bad Tour.
Terrible experience!!! Improvising and desorganized tour. Change of hour (time of event) the same day. This WAS NOT an skip line tour. Terrible. Poor tour guide, Sevada.
Operator response
Where does it say it’s a skip the line tour? I’ll kindly answer that for you. Nowhere on our product. All visitors of St. Peter’s Basillica are subject to a security line, no matter what promises they tell you. (We don’t make this skip the line claim) as for Sevada being a “poor terrible” guide I would say the hundreds of 5 star reviews would dispute that themselves. I’ll let future customers decide based on the statistics.

A very knowledgeable tour guide with fun and energetic energy that was contagious. She made history a story rather than just handing us facts.

Martina is amazing . Great tour!!!
We had such a great time touring St. Peter’s Basilica today with Martina from Not Boring Tours! She was honestly amazing. You can tell right away how much she knows and loves Rome and its history. She made the whole tour so interesting and shared so many little details and stories that we would have never known on our own. She was also so sweet, patient, and really took the time to answer all of our questions. St. Peter’s Basilica was absolutely beautiful, but having Martina as our guide made it even better. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend her to anyone visiting Rome. If you’re booking a tour, definitely ask for Martina! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Family Friendly Tour with Great Guide
This tour was great; interesting for both adults and kids alike! Sevada, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, friendly, and engaging; my entire family loved her! Even my youngest son, who is very hard to entertain, came out of the tour saying, “that was so cool.” Totally recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun way to learn about the history of Rome and the basilica of St Peter’s including the meaning behind its beautiful architecture, paintings, and statures. Five stars for Sevada!
