Customer Service Experts - We had travel delays that were going to make us miss our tour. Viator was not helpful but this was our provider and they know how to provide customer service! They pushed our start back by an hour and it was an amazing tour! Sevada was our guide and she is easy to be around, was amazing with the stories and connecting us with the fun facts of St. peter’s. My family had the most amazing experience and we highly recommend this company!

Amazing tour of St Peter’s Basilica!!!! - Sevada was absolutely amazing!!! We were in the area and asked to start early if she was available so she met us an hour before our scheduled time and we headed over to get in line. Over the next few hours she guided us through the Basilica and had amazing insights and knowledge into everything we were seeing. My girlfriend and I agreed that was the best money we spent during our ten day trip through Italy! Would highly recommend!!!

Great tour with Sevada - My wife and I did a Basilica tour with Sevada and it was a really great experience. She’s an excellent guide, really knowledgeable and fun. She paced the tour well, showed us some hidden gems, and just made the whole tour really enjoyable. We had a wonderful time. We also used the same tour company on a previous trip for the Vatican Museums with Mike, and that was excellent as well. Our daughter did the tour last year with another guide Josie, and said she was somewhat arrogant, so it probably just depends a bit on the guide I guess. I’d definitely recommend asking for Sevada or Mike if you book with them. Both were fantastic.

A great way of making sense of the most impressive church that I have ever seen. Very happy that we went for this tour. - Our guide Sevada was friendly and knowledgeable. With her, the time that we had to spend in line for the security check flew by, as she entertained us with lots of interesting information about the surrounding buildings and the story of pope John Paul II (!? Not sure about his English name). Inside, she impressed us with an entertaining and informative narrative, covering art, architecture, and history, that definitely made it more easy to understand and enjoy what we saw. My twelve year old son was impressed as well. All in all a great experience.
