Not worth the money. Had to wait two hours to get in. Language needs to be specified more obviously. The whole tour was in Italian. Left because we couldn’t understand anything. It’s actually free to go inside the church. I would’ve rather just went in and looked around for free.

Very enjoyable! Really appreciated the unbiased and honest telling of the history of the area. The tour guide's anecdotes and insights were funny and engaging. He made the wait in line to get in seem fast. His knowledge of the architecture and the art seemed pretty extensive.

Unfortunately, we don't remember his name. He was very informative, telling us things our guide from 2022 hadn't. He was funny! He stayed with my wife waiting for the elevator up to the dome. I wish we remembered his name, I'd recommend him.

The tour was great. The underground tomb visit was nice - I love all the information that our guide provided. It would not have been the same without our tour guide. I don’t remember his name but he had a German accent and had a great sense of humor. The climb up was challenging for me, but I’m happy I did it! Our tour guide answered our questions and made us laugh. I took a lot of amazing pictures and even though the Vatican is always packed and the lines are long - with patience - like our tour guide advised us - everything goes smoothly. Overall, a wonderful experience!! I highly recommend!

The guide Angela told us everything we needed to know while we were waiting (over two hours) before we entered St. Peter's Basilica. It was very hectic and crowded in St. Peter's Basilica itself. Unfortunately, we just rushed through. Unfortunately, we were unable to climb the dome because of another appointment.
