Let's delve into the majestic St. Peter's Square in Vatican City. Envisioned by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in the 17th century, this vast, oval-shaped plaza is a masterpiece of symmetry and harmony, facing the awe-inspiring St. Peter's Basilica. Dominating the square's center is an ancient obelisk, elegantly accompanied by two grand fountains on either side. This historical space often buzzes with pilgrims and serves as a crucial hub for significant Catholic ceremonies and papal addresses. The remarkable blend of stunning architecture and profound religious importance renders St. Peter's Square a globally iconic and sacred destination.

It's not worth the cost...

Kind guides and the woman knows well are subject, but we did not like the experience at all!! Too much walking in the heat. Too much to see, too. Too many explanations in less interesting places. It's hard to follow the guides with all these people. In hindsight I would only pay for a transport (taxi). Not enough time for dinner (60 min) as we wasted time elsewhere.
Robbery in depopulated

Better taxi hire... it's a total steal. Makes me completely doubtful of viator. One thinking it saves compared to the tours offered by cruise ships but it was an absolute mistake
Unpleasant experience, overbooked and too crowded

Our tour started out bad. Tour says 6 ppl max but booked for 7 ppl so there was not enough seats. One of the party of the tour was either late or didn’t follow instruction so we ended wasting over an hour looking n waiting for them. Driver ends up driving like a mad man trying to make up time. When we reached Rome, the experience didn’t improved, felt rush, overly crowded with other tourists and extremely hot. Didn’t help the guide keeps on standing under the full sun. Didn’t enjoy. Was worst tour of our trip.
Only for those who are short on time in Rome.

Honestly it is the best time I've ever spent during my vacations. We didn't need to worry about anything. The most important part, pickup and dropoff both were on time.
