Worth the visit although my audio did not work - Best experience I could imagine. Very interesting to see. I gave it 4 stars because my Audio I paid for didn't connect, but I joined an English tour and just tagged along. Improvising

St Peter's - This is a good for those people that don't wish a tour. I would recommend going early in the morning as line are very long late morning and afternoons.

Terrible - This is the worse scam I have ever had. Although I tried to download the app/ guide before my visit, it never worked. You do not need tickets to enter the basilica. I would like to get my money back.

Misleading Product, Irresponsible company - Very misleading product. I strongly advise you to read the cancelation policy and ask for the product details BEFORE booking. Some key details about what you are buying are only provided AFTER booking.

Bad experince, confusing offers, low client support - Bad experience. I downloaded the app encouraged by the offer for tickets to St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome whereas the tickets do not exist, they just confuse the customers to buy audio guides only. The google adress of the meeting point was wrongly indicated in the app. I requested the refund but it was rejected. The whole contact with the support horrible

This audio tour is a scam - Do not get this audio tour. There is no information on how to access the tour and no one to get assistance from. I am very disappointed that this was on Viator site. I never expected that Viator would include a scam type tour on the site.

Crappy - Bad experience. Spend more and get a proper tour with a reputable company. The price gets you absolutely nothing but an audio download and nothing else. Read carefully
