Not to be missed - A magical moment with my girlfriend. We are not very religious but for a long time we had the desire to experience St. Peter and his Basilica. We were honestly impressed, the guided tour turned out to be very deep and absolutely pleasant. The guide told us anecdotes that really impressed us and allowed us to better understand many things about the history of Christianity. Special thanks to Trip in Art and Eni, our super guide!

An Unforgettable Experience at St. Peter’s Basilica! - Our visit to St. Peter’s Basilica was absolutely unforgettable! The breathtaking architecture, the serene ambiance, and masterpieces like Michelangelo’s Pietà left us in awe. Climbing to the dome’s top was the highlight—offering stunning panoramic views of Vatican City. Our guide was fantastic, sharing fascinating stories and historical details that brought the Basilica to life. Every corner, from the ornate Baldacchino to the intricate chapels, was filled with history and beauty. This tour was the perfect blend of art, history, and inspiration, and is a must for anyone visiting Rome. Highly recommended!

Forgotten - Our tour was merged with another company. This meant we were informed we would depart 30 minutes late. The tour we were joined with had more elements. Therefore, we were asked if we wanted to pay more, wait for the guide, or inconvenience the remaining group to have our portion offered first. We were kind, and offered to wait for 45-60 mins while they went on without us. We sent communications with the tour company, and the guide we were originally speaking with regularly asking if we were forgotten. We had no answer until we asked for a refund. At which point, we were asked to wait a minute to determine where our guide was. After 15 minutes, we sent another message saying we were leaving, as it had now been 2 hours! We were clearly…Forgotten. When we returned, the guide was there chatting. He claimed he had looked for 30 minutes for us. This bold lie was when we were finally compelled to make a complaint. We had not moved from our seat the entire time- where he told us to sit.
