Excellent tour with spectacular views inside and out. You don't need to climb all the way to the top. There is an elevator to the first tier above the altar which gives you an inside look down. If you choose you can head back down or continue to the very top. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and courteous. However, our tour was, unknown to us, booked through a "middle man service" that was late so we had to hurry to the meeting place at Vatican Square. We were then handed off to the actual tour guide company that conducted the tour.

We did a tour of the Basilica di San Pietro with a climb of the dome and it was incredible. Amazing views from the top of the dome and a great tour overall, especially because it's so early in the morning so you beat most of the crowds. Highly recommend!

The booking was fast and without issues. The tour guide was amazing and gave great information throughout the tour. It was a breathtaking experience overall and I highly recommend doing the tour. Going solo is possible, but you will not get the same experience unless you are a historian.
