NOT a skip-the-line offer but well worth the money.
It is NOT a skip-the-line offer but the tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining and helped pass the time in line with information. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Valentine was very...
Valentine was very pleasant and knowledgeable. He made our visit very enjoyable. We feel the tour with him made it a much more valuable experience than if we went on our own.

Great tour
This was our highlight of our trip to Rome. The visit to the Vatican crypt was amazing. Our tour guide, Sabrina, took us through Saint Peters. She had an amazing knowledge of the church and was very fun. I would highly recommend this to her.

Great experience!...
Great experience! Breathtaking inside.
Valentine had a great sense of humor making the wait times pass quickly.
St. Peter's Dome (Cupola di San Pietro)
You must pass through a security check to access the dome—banned items include pocketknives, corkscrews, and umbrellas.
The dress code in the basilica and dome requires that shoulders and knees are covered.
The dome is partially accessible to wheelchair users. There is an elevator to the roof level (or you can climb the 320 steps), but only a spiral staircase provides access to the cupola at the highest point of the dome (another 200 steps).
Views are dizzying from the top of St. Peter’s Dome, so visiting the top is not recommended for anyone afraid of heights.
Kids especially enjoy the invigorating climb and views, so consider joining a small-group tour tailored to families if traveling with children.
Looks like we don't have any St. Peter's Dome (Cupola di San Pietro) tours or tickets. Try one of these other top landmarks.
