Amazing Honeymoon Experience - It was such of an amazing experience! My husband and I are on our honeymoon and this was by far the best tour. Our tour guide was Sam and he was so great at explaining everything and was so knowledgeable of everything! He was the best and I highly recommend him and this tour!

Good tour and very enthusiastic guide - Very good guide I don’t remember his name but he is a middle school teacher and he is very enthusiastic about the Vatican and all its history. We were lucky because the lines were not bad for our tour which was great because it was quite hot.

Guided tour St. Peter's Basilica in Spanish - We hired this guided tour through the Rome Tourist Card that we took through Tiqets. It was our first guided tour on holiday and the experience could not be better. From the beginning we had updated information both by email and WhatsApp about the meeting point and schedule, taking care to confirm that we were aware of modifications. When they arrived at the meeting point they were organizing the groups by language, and although in principle our visit was in English (through the Rome Tourist Card we were given no choice), the team of guides allowed us to do it in Spanish, and without doubt, it was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Lucia, a magnificent professional, shows us St. Peter’s Square and St. Peter’s Basilica explaining in detail. I recommend this guided tour with the Vivaroma Enterprise. I wish we could have seen more with them.

Our guide Lucia was fantastic - The visit was fantastic thanks to Lucia, our guide who carried 10 with both adults and children. He taught us all the ins and outs of St. Peter and did not illustrate with his story and more curious anecdotes. Ten for her.

Excellent experience - The tour was absolutely amazing. I am sorry that I can't remember the name of our guide, I just know he is a teacher in the middle school. He made the difference, his explanation and patience in a very hot day were remarkable. Thank you for a great experience, we enjoyed it at the max

Excellent guide to knowledge and functioning - She was an excellent guide in many ways: Knowledge of the matter, experience, interaction with the people (more empathy with certain individuals than I would like to muster). Thank you again.

2025 not a good time. - September 2025 was a terrible time to go. It was so incredibly crowded and loud. We couldn’t hear our tour guide very well, sometimes not at all, even with the head set. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable but very soft spoken and we missed a lot of information. The church was beautiful and we are glad we went but that crowd.

Unable to visit. - I'm sorry to say that I am unable to give any stars. Unfortunately we did not have time to go to Saint Peter's Basilica. Our coach was late arriving and we went straight to our next tour and then didn't have time to return. We are hoping to return to Rome at a later date for a city break and will intend to see Saint Peter's Basilica.
