Exceptional experience!...
Exceptional experience! Go deeper than the catacombs into roman mausoleums and see St Peters tomb. Uneven ground with stairs and occasional low ceilings. We enjoyed our own walk around St Peters Basilica following, with amazing climb up to the view from the dome.

Tour guide was so knowledgeable, everything about the tour was great. We were able to check off many items on our bucket list on this tour. Have already recommended the tour to others.

Self guided audio tour of St Peters
St Peters is truely amazing and well worth a visit in person. We didn't understand initially that this was a self guided tour with a audio app, so bring your own headphones. Also the Dome QR code didn't seem to work at first, but we persisted, and then got to go up. Again, the Dome just blows you away to well worth it.
The other advantage of the self guided audio is that it is self-paced and you can go into a much detail as you like.

Private tour worth every penny!
Our tour with Liv was amazing. Paola was wonderful. She was knowledgeable could answer every question and then some. She navigated us through Vatican museum with skill and we found ourselves alone in several rooms, what a fantastic experience. It was worth every penny for private tour.

Opportunity for improvement
Own your on at your pace. The tickets needed to be picked up unfortunately instead of being provided online which would have been smoother transition from Vatican to St. Peter’s.

Silvia was fantastic
Great way to learn about the history and see a bit of everything from the top and the bottom of the church

Excellent Saint Peter’s Basilica tour.
Excellent skip the line tour of Saint Peter’s Basilica with tour of the dome. Without it, it would’ve taken hours to get into the Basilica.

Wonderful Tour
Fredericka was a great tour guide. It was an amazing tour experience. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. I would definitely recommend. The view from the top of the dome observatory was simply breathtaking!

Much help on a hot day

An excellent tour!
This really was an excellent tour which included St Peters square, the Basilica, a climb to the top of the Cupola providing outstanding views of Rome and a visit to the Grottoes beneath the altar of the Basilica. Our guide was full of facts and interesting information, which were put across in a friendly conversational manner. Thoroughly recommended!

How to get there
When to visit

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.
