A very nice tour with a knowledgeable guide. Finding the tour guide was a challenge but we found the meeting place in time for the tour.
We had a great tour of St. Peter's Basilica. The guide was able to keep us away from the massive crowds and with the quiet boxes we were able to hear all his commentary. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all questions. The tour was the exact right amount of time to keep our attention.
Highly recommend as you avoid the long lines and get a personal tour of the basilica
Very poor instructions on the meeting point. We couldn't find the place and even though I speak Italian no one seems to know where the company is. All in all, we didn't make and wasted 4 tickets and money down the drain.
This tour was amazing!
The meeting place was not correct. A lady was suppose to tell us where to meet but we never approached her. We just thought she was some person sitting on a bench. She had no identification. We just had to wonder around until we found some guys that looked like they might know. They seemed disorganized. We did have to stand in line for the security check. Tour guidee was nice but she talked so fast it was sometimes hard to understand her.
