Eye-catching Early Morning Private Tour

Our exclusive VIP early morning private tour to climb to the Dome at St. Peter’s Basilica was transformed into a memorable experience with Eddy, the private guide. The English-speaking live guide was supportive and fully knowledgeable and guaranteed our entry to the major landmarks of the Eternal City with special skip-the-line tickets. Starting from St. Peter’s Square with Eddy, we also visited Vatican City. We were mesmerized by climbing the St. Peter’s Dome with the lift, but we also had to walk 330 steps to reach the top of the Dome. During the descent from the Dome, we also entered the Basilica to witness its amazing frescos, including the great Michelangelo! In this 2-3 hours trip, we also got VIP entry to Cupola di San Pietro. Cheers Eddy!!
Disorganized and not the private your we paid for.

The tour was not private but semi private even though we paid for private. I was told by the guide and not called by the company. The tour was fine and it was not the guides fault but when I called the operator he said oh I should have called you. He claims he is giving me a partial refund but I haven’t seen it processed and if I wanted to pay for a semi private, I would have booked it.
Excellent!! +++

Martin was an excellent guide full of knowledge way beyond the basic info. He was friendly and personable and fun. We had a great time and he took lots of pics of us along the way. Excellent tour that I would highly recommend!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Extremely busy place but really worth it

Early morning is supposed to be less busy. It is still pretty busy. When you go over the paints and tapestries, this is a line of people both ways. On the sistine chapel, you can stay only 10 to 15 minutes in the middle and you have to leave unless you will be blocking other visitors. The guide explained very nicely how the painting were done and modified later on to hide nudity. With pictures he showed us before we enter the chapel what to expect and look for. This was amazing.
Monica B was very informative. She...

Monica B was very informative. She helped us navigate the truly massive Vatican museum. It was very cold in the museum (not Monica’s fault!) but it’s worth noting that they’re essentially open to the outside air. Dress warm in winter!
