We had a great day despite the wet weather.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Unfortunately there was a service in the tombs which meant our tour guide had to leave us wander through without him. The dome is spectacular from inside and the rooftop views of the Vatican gardens was a real treat.

Our guide, Sev, is a forensic archeology professor, so very knowledgeable. He is also a great storyteller and shared information in a fun, easy to understand manner. The dome climb was the highlight of the tour with incredible views from the top.

The guide, Sev, was amazing. He presented so much information in an engaging manner. He was able to answer any questions asked. Sev was one of the best guides I have had. The early morning start time was good to avoid as much of the crowd as possible, as the lines to enter the basilica and to use the elevator to the Dome become very long later in the morning. The views from the Dome are beautiful, but the stairs become very narrow and steep at points, so people with mobility issues or claustrophobia may have difficulty with that part of the tour if they choose to do the climb.

Very good guide. She kept us interested the entire time. I highly recommend booking an early tour since the dome climb line gets crowded fast.
