No guide but still amazing

Abigail_L, Sep 2026

Great to experience the beauty of the basicila. The guide was sick so I ended up doing everything on my own. Company was good in sending over all the necessary information ahead of time though. The view from the dome is incredible

Viator great booking company!

St. Peter’s is a must see. Be prepared to still wait in a line even with online ticket purchase. Viator guide, Joseph, was great. He waited at the pick up spot for us and escorted us to “skip the line” entrance. He was very thorough and helpful.

Do not book

The only positive from that experience was that we could skip the line at the entrance. There were no headphones provided for audio tour and the info about Basilica was very basic (could get them online anyway). Felt like I spent them money for nothing really. The entrance to the Basilica is for free and if you are ok with longer line than there is no need to purchase this experience.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Dear Malgorz, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We genuinely appreciate all reviews, as they help us improve our service. However, we respectfully disagree with several factual statements made in your review, as they do not accurately reflect the service that was purchased and delivered. First, regarding the audio guide and headphones: our product description clearly states before purchase that headphones are not included and that visitors are required to bring their own earphones to use the digital audio guide on their smartphone. The digital audio guide itself was provided exactly as advertised. In addition, our host went beyond the advertised service to assist you. As you did not have an internet connection, our team provided you with internet access at the meeting point so that you could successfully download the audio guide before entering the Basilica. This assistance is offered as a courtesy to ensure our guests can enjoy the experience without inconvenience. Regarding your comment that “the entrance to the Basilica is free and there is no need to purchase this experience,” we believe this statement is misleading for future travelers. The service you purchased included reserved-entry tickets with unique QR codes, which were issued to you and successfully used for your entry into St. Peter’s Basilica. These are reserved admission tickets, not complimentary walk-in access. Your booking also included our hosted check-in service, entry assistance, a multilingual digital audio guide, and a printed visitor map. As you also mention in your review, you were able to skip the regular queue, which confirms that the reserved entry service was successfully delivered. This is precisely the purpose of the experience and one of the main reasons many travelers choose to book it. Our team delivered every element described in the product page: * Reserved hosted entry assistance. * On-site host support during check-in. * A multilingual digital audio guide. * Internet access to download the guide when needed. * A visitor map. * Assistance throughout the entry process. We believe it is important to clarify these points both to provide you with further clarification and to ensure that future travelers can make informed decisions based on accurate information. Thank you again for your feedback, and we wish you all the best in your future travels. Kind regards, Guide Us Tours

Very organised - fab

Loved St Peter’s. Tour company were amazing as we had to change our time at the last minute due to the failures of another agent. Customer service was great. Prompt messaging and phone calls to help us. Also the agent met us by St Peter’s to check everything was okay. Great service.

Amazing experience

Adriana_D, Jul 2026

Phenomenal once in a lifetime experience! The art was overwhelming beautiful and the church service was an unexpected surprise that added to the experience.
