Absolutely great experience.

Aleksander_C, Aug 2026

Hassle free, very quick meeting with our guide for entering st. Peter's Bassilica dome. Super fast entry ,but because we booked the meeting at 8:30 very little people were in the queue. Fantastic young man from took us through the gates and in no time we were inside. We didn't collect any tickets from their office. Tickets were collected for us from official ticket box and handed over to us while we were standing with our host.. Great job. Thank you very much. It was a good decision to book with you.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Dear Aleksander, Thank you for the fantastic review! We are thrilled your early morning visit was so seamless and that our host took great care of you. We hope to welcome you back to Rome soon!

It’s worth it!

Max and Riyajul were awesome! Totally made it worth the experience!! The elevator is worth it but still be prepared to do steps! It is totally worth the view! Amazing!

Scam.. be aware

This is not a ticket guys. False advertisement. They’ll make you stand in free line (takes about 3hrs) and give you a link for audio tour. Doesn’t include dome ticket either, you have to purchase your own again by standing in another line.

Love it!

The view is beautifull, a lot of walking, a good fitness is recommended. The waiting time on line is long and slow.

Very poor, not at all...

Very poor, not at all informative no audio. Ultimately 35 euro for a 15 euro ticket that you had to lineup and wait 30min plus for a skip the line ticket!!!!
