A fabulous experience with a friendly and extremely knowledgeable guide that made the dome, basilica and grotto come alive. As someone who has toured the basilica with guides before I was delighted to find a guide that enhanced the experience more than any previous visit had done.
Awesome tour of St Peters

Our tour of St. Peter's Basilica with Sonia was nothing short of enlightening. The climb to the dome offered breathtaking views, making the effort completely worth it. Sonia's knowledge was immense. We especially liked the captivating tales of St. Peter and the significance of those buried within the catacombs. Learning about the history of the land and its deep connection to St. Peter was the highlight. Sonia is a wealth of knowledge and conveys it with passion. A must-experience tour!
