If I remember correctly, the tour guide was called Chiara. The tour was perfectly organized and thanks to her relaxed manner she was able to convey the knowledge well and it was fun to listen to her. Questions could be asked and answered promptly. She went out of her way to make the tour an experience.

This tour was excellent! Our tour guide was very informative and professional. She gave us an individual headphone where she could communicate all the information to us. The entrance to the Basilica is free but we found it better with a tour due to all the information we were shared. We are also a smaller group as compared to other group tours. The entrance going up the dome can either be through the stairs which costs 8 euros (500 steps) or lift (10 euro) which leaves us with 300 steps instead. Our tour included the use of the lift (Thank goodness!) But the view on top of the dome was worth it! Overall it was an excellent tour and really recommended.

A fantastic experience - highly recommend. Our guide Marco was really friendly, easy to understand, he made an effort to include everyone, and he was very knowledgable and happy to answer all questions. The tour includes St Peter’s Basilica and the Dome only. The view from the top of the dome both looking into the basilica and over the city we’re beautiful - a beautiful experience! Although we still had to wait in long queues before security, it didn’t feel long because Marco began telling us about the buildings and the square whilst in the queue. We learnt a lot that we wouldn’t have found out without Marco, and we are very grateful for his knowledge.
