For sure recommend this tour! Our guide was great, she was knowledgeable and taught us really cool things. The only reason im not giving it 5 stars is because we couldnt go to the st peter's basilica since our tour started at 13:30 and it closed at 13:30. I chose this tour because it also is supposed to help us get into the basilica and yet we didnt know that we were going to go there until the tour started and the basilica closed. Shame to only find out then because we couldve gone without the tour at least but it was too late...

We were booked for the 10am tour but something really urgent came up so we had to cancel it. Getyourguide really understood our situation and offered an afternoon tour instead. The guide was excellent and after the 1 hour tour of the Basilica ended, we were free to roam about. But we had all the information so we enjoyed and appreciated everything even more. In future I will choose again this company.

Hi, unfortunately, I did not write down the name of our lady guide. She was superb: knowledgable and human - the best combination ever. Needless to say - one trip to the Vatican hardly touches the surface of the endless treasures there. But for the first introduction, this was a BIG WOW! thank you
