5.00Best experienced ever. Walked right up to front of the line. Most busy day due to it being the last day that door was going to be open due to Mass January 6th. Recommend walking to meeting place instead of driving. No where to park but that could also be due to it being the last day. Definitely Recommend
Waste of time and money. Half hour late to set off. Then the "guide", just shot off and left several group parties alone

5.00Efficient check in. I had skip the line but because on my day St. Peter’s was apparently closed in the morning. We still had a queue but not as long as others. So still worth paying. But the experience was worth the wait.
Grazia Viator and Roma!

5.00Makes a huge diff to skip the line. We waited maybe 10 min to get through the security bag check area and then went straight in. Thanks to all the different guides and teams for taking good care of us during all of our Viator bookings and tours!! St. Peter’s Basilica was amazing and I am so blessed I passed through the Holy Door during this Jubilee!!
Missed out in Rome.

1.00Book when you have extra time due to possibly closing of the basilica. Our tour time was set for noon but the basilica closed for an hour and a half.
