Very smart Guide regarding the history of the church

Troy_W, Jul 2026

Isabella did a phenomenal job of talking us through the history of all of the basilica’s… I’m really grateful to have had this experience with her to learn the ins and outs of the history of the church and it’s four most important basilicas. With that said, I think it’s imperative to have a vehicle with better air-conditioning in the afternoon.

We Saw the Pope Instead of St. Peter

Dean_R, Oct 2025

Our guide and driver, Isabella and Fabio, knew how to quickly navigate us on a private tour of four Basilicas. We appreciated seeing the large churches and traveling to each one in just 3 hours. However, we did not go inside St. Peter’s due to an audience with the Pope. We are surprised the tour company was not aware that St. Peter’s was closed, especially since they advertise a tour of four Basilicas.

Bisilica tour very happy

Very knowledgeable about the bisilica very great experience enjoyed the people giving the tour very happy

Great guided tour but don’t book in the afternoon

Dolly_D, May 2025

Isabella was a great guide. Very knowledgeable, professional, friendly. Unfortunately, because of the time of day and traffic, we didn’t get to see St. Peter’s Basilica. I would not recommend booking this tour in the afternoon.

Muy mala experiencia

Hector_A, Mar 2025

Mala comunicación con el operador. Nos dieron una dirección y luego la cambiaron siendo que nosotros llegamos a tiempo a la dirección original. La comunicación fue muy lenta y empezamos por culpa de ellos media hora tarde. La última basílica que es la de san Pedro nosotros llegamos alcanzamos a entrar porque ya habían cerrado y simplemente nos dijo que pues ya no podía hacer nada porque nosotros llegamos tarde. Al inicio le pedimos adelantar la Basílica de San a Pedro que es la más importante pero no aceptó. La guía nos dio muy pobre información y nos llevó muy rápido a las 3 que vimos.
