Less than 1% of Vatican visitors ascend St. Peter's Dome, this is a remarkable statistic so for this reason we have decided to take it from the top! Meet your expert Vatican guide by St. Peter's Square. Sacred stairs (and an elevator) will carry you up to St. Peter's Terrace from where you will see all of Rome and even the Tyrrhenian Sea! Back on terra firma you will tour the entirety of St. Peter's Basilica too. Take a break before making the short walk to our Vatican meeting point for your second tour of the Vatican City and Sistine Chapel! Get fast track access to the masterpieces which make the Vatican Museums absolutely must-see when in Rome.

Our guide Sabrina was AWESOME! She made the entire experience even better. The dome climb and Sistine Chapel visit were the highlights. We ran out of time and, sadly, did not get the full St. Peter experience.

Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We started the tour early to avoid the crowds. However she ended the tour one hour early ( I am not sure if they were including a self guided tour of the Sistine chapel in the descriptions). I would have liked to have her there to describe the chapel and museums. She also did not tell us the statute of Pietra was being “washed” and unavailable to view. We then went back after the tour, waited one hour on the line only to be told that the statue was not available once we went back in the Basilica

The beautiful church and history was amazing Our guide Chiara made this trip memorable. She was so knowledgeable and presented the history in a professional manner but made it fun and interesting. Wish we had her for all the tours we took!

This was a fantastic tour. Our guide Paolo was knowledgeable, organized, friendly & just a really nice guy!! He skillfully led us through the throngs of tours/tourists & took time to answer questions when our group of 10 total people had them. He adjusted the schedule as needed for breaks & time to take pictures & look around. Vatican Museums & Sistine Chapel are incredible but St. Peter’s Basilica & climbing the dome are just amazing. (The stairway narrows & the walls/overhead are angled/curved towards the top so maybe not for the very tall, large, or highly claustrophobic!) Take the steps & skip the LONG elevator line in the lower portion of St. Peter’s. A memorable lifetime experience. Great tour all-around!

Chaira was AMAZING!!! 10 Stars!!! The day was long and a lot of walking but our guide made sure we knew all the best ways to avoid the crowds, see all the highlights, and keep it entertaining!! She was very attentive to the many needs and abilities of our group! She went above and beyond to give directions if we wanted to see something on our own or come back to something for more time! The tour was very fun and informative! Highly recommend!!

We did the entire Vatican tour. Our Guide Nadia was fantastic, so knowledgable and well organised. She gave us clear instructions and provided so much interesting information. Well worth the cost of the ticket.

Our guide Francesca was amazing. She was friendly funny and knowledgeable. The top of the dome, and tombs, and Sistine chapel were do not miss visits for any Christian as well as those who love history.

We had a great tour with Georgia. She was extremely knowledgeable and could understand her quite well. The other lines were extremely long and she streamed blinded the whole process. I doubt I would’ve done it by myself. Highly recommend her tour.

Georgia was most kind, well informative and guided us through the busy crowd with ease. We loved the full tour, with a climb to the dome (amazing view over the city of Rome!) and going down to the crypts. Thank you so much Georgia!
