The ‘tour’ was essentially just a skip-the-queue entry as we was provided with an app to show us all the must-see points.
The duration of the tour time when booking is completely inaccurate, we saw everything we wanted to see and the app said it should take 3 hours and we were done within an hour then had to wait about for our next attraction.
It wasn’t very well communicated that even though you get the elevator and miss 500 or so stairs, you still have to walk up 200+ stairs in slim corridors to get to the top of the dome.

The tour meets early and walks you through security. I had my elder mother and I was able to skip the dome trip and go straight to the Basilica. The rest of the team visited the dome. We went at 8am and security only took about 8 minutes. When we left the basilica at noon, the lines were super long. Great experience!

The meet-up location was not visible on the booking email and vialtor were unreachable. Had to purchase a dome pass from the regular queue on the day

The guide gave us an app QR code and told us to wait in line for multiple hours. After we got in finally, we were told to wait for another eternity until the guide bought the tickets on the day we had the trip booked (wouldn’t have had to reserve the tickets for this in advance, by just waiting in line that’s the same result.) Then the guide left us alone in the St. Petro dome and told us to do whatever… truly not recommendable to book. Especially because the Audio guide is terrible in all languages but English (my dad doesn’t speak it that’s why we booked it so he could have it in his language). And the entrance shows fees of 8 or 10€ per person depending on elevator usage or stairs. Means this „tour“ is way overpriced.

Don’t waste your money. You still have to stand in line to enter and you could download a tour for free to your phone There’s no tour guide so all you get is an escort to St Peter’s
