Highly recommended - We had an incredible experience on the St. Peter’s Basilica Dome Guided Tour, and our guide, Kelly, made it even more special. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and very attentive to everyone in the group. Kally explained the history of the basilica and the dome climb in such an interesting way, and her passion for the site was infectious. The views from the top were breathtaking, and the whole experience was seamless from start to finish. Highly recommended!

Great tour (a bit pricy) - Alexandra is very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful tour of St Peter’s. We thoroughly enjoyed the time and having a guide to take us places we may have missed. Thought the price was a tad high, but it was a small group that helped.

EXCELLENT - I loved the tour, the basilica is impressive on its own but with Chiara's guide you will be delighted, she is a very good historian, she has a lot of knowledge. It's worth those extra euros for Chiara's guide, you leave with a lot of information.
