    Everything went according to plan. The host took us to the Basilica Dome entrance and gave us instructions on how to continue our visit afterwards!

  • Satisfactory Experience

    The experience was satisfactory. We were able to skip long lines to gain access to the Sistine Chapel. There was little communication between the lead point person and the group in terms of what to expect. They were simply a conduit to entry. Once in, we were on our own.

  • Great tour for Vatican

    We picked our tickets two blocks from the Vatican. The guy came with us and led us till we entered the Vatican. There were thousands of people queuing to enter and we just went through. Really good.

  • St Peter’s Basilica non tour.

    Even though we purchased a “skip the line” self guided tour. It takes a while 30 minutes to get in, then another 2 hours to get into the basilica. In our case we ran out of time in our schedule and had to leave after 1 and a half hours waiting in line.
